A VPN communication terminal has mounted thereon (1) a functional unit configured to autonomously monitor the connection status of the terminal with the Internet, (2) a functional unit configured to allow communication of a browser program only when the terminal is not determined to be connected to the Internet; and (3) a functional unit configured to restrict network communication of the terminal to only communication with the VPN authentication server only when the terminal is determined to be connected to the Internet.
