Clarified what Remote Access Id is and fixed broken link to KB
Connecting to the Internet through Virginia Tech's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network Virtual Private Network] (VPN) is the only officially advertised and supported method of accessing certain resources such as [http://network.software.vt.edu/ VT Network Software] from off-campus. Alternatively, you can use SSH tunnels or [[proxies]] to obtain a Virginia Tech IP address.
'''Important:''' You must first create a [http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry/2846/ 3765 Remote Access ID] to be able to log into the VPN. This is different from your normal VT PID password. This is the Network Account information on your [https://my.vt.edu/accounts/myaccounts Accounts page].
