**Trusted Networks**

It's considered best practice by many IT professionals to use a VPN service like Privatise to access the internet whenever you're away from your company's trusted networks. Privatise has a feature called Trusted Networks that automatically turns the secured VPN connection on when you need it and off again when you don't.
You can add/delete WiFi or Ethernet to your Trusted Networks.
*Your MSP must give you the permission to manage Trusted Networks.
