Course VPN

The Course VPN (CVPN) feature enables desktops to directly access one another. 

This feature replaces the "Turn off network isolation" option. When Network Isolation was switched off, desktops could communicate with any other desktop on a single server, but it did not permit communication between servers or data centres. 

Course VPN allows communication between any desktop added to a specific course, regardless of the server or data centre it resides on.

This feature is only available for Ubuntu and Windows 10 Operating Systems. For other operating systems, you can still use the "Turn off network isolation" setting.

Below are some terminal screenshots showing the CVPN interface when viewed from the terminal, as well as additional properties of the connected interface.
