Course VPN

The Course VPN (CVPN) functionality enables direct desktop-to-desktop communication. 

It replaces the 'Turn off network isolation' option. Previously, disabling network isolation allowed desktops on a single server to communicate, but cross-server and cross-data center connectivity was not functional. 

The Course VPN enables any desktop added to a particular course to communicate, independent of the server or data center.

This functionality is limited to Ubuntu and Windows 10 operating systems. For all other OS environments, you may still use the 'Turn off network isolation' legacy setting.

The following screenshots depict the CVPN interface as seen in the terminal, alongside certain additional attributes of the connected interface.
