VPN

Stands for virtual private network.  VPNs extend a private network across a public network (such as the internet).  Many folks use VPNs to change their IP address for security or streaming purposes or to log into a remote office but they have many artistic possibilities as well.  Users on the same VPN can send direct network commands (such as OSC or rtpMIDI) to control software, trigger cues, etc even if they are not in the same physical space.   VPNs can be set up manually but there are also various existing utilities that have free tiers such as VPN Hamachi or ZeroTier.
