¶ Venio AWS VPN Instructions
The Venio VPN allows you to connect to environments hosted by Venio safely and securely. This is a split-tunnel VPN so your computer system will still interact with the internet directly outside of the Venio VPN environment and only the necessary Venio environment traffic will be secured by the VPN.
