offlan

Adjective used to describe the state of activities performed in relation to a corporate or private network, typically via a VPN. When offlan, no VPN connection is available; hence, no internal resources are available. One may still have network access to the Internet or other resources, but when offlan, internal web sites or other servers are unavailable.

Antonym: onlan

Even though I had signal, I was offlan, so I could not get to the files you put on the server.

onlan

Adjective used to describe the state of activities performed in relation to a corporate or private network, typically via a VPN. When onlan, internal resources are available, as one has a connection through a VPN. Interestingly, depending on the setup of the VPN, offlan resources--such as public web sites--may be inaccessible.

Antonym: offlan

Sorry, but the files you want are only available onlan. You'll need to connect to the VPN to download them.
