Answer: VPN using the Network and Sharing Center

Explanation:

A virtual private network (VPN) extends its reach from a private network to a public network, and allows users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.

VPN technology was developed so that remote users and branch offices tcan have access to corporate applications and resources. To make sure there is security, the private network connection is established using an encrypted layered tunneling protocol, and VPN users use authentication methods, including passwords or certificates, to gain access to the VPN.
