French term or phrase: espace réservé
A section of a website with limited access, basically an intranet. Only, the word *intranet* exists in French and is not used here. Is there a better way of saying this than "limited-access space"?

restricted area


Explanation:
Depends a bit on whether or not it says "réservé à..." and specifies to whom (in which case you'd want to handle it differently, I feel).

Also depends on the tone, register, and style of the website; 'restricted' may have connotations of military secrets etc., which might be welcome (on a site for industrial equipment) but possibly out of place on a site about embroidery!

Virtual Private Network


Explanation:
Re: Wikipedia:
A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure such as the Internet to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. It aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can be used by only one organization

disagree  philgoddard: Réseau privé virtuel.

disagree  Tony M: I think if they specifically meant that, they'd have used to 'official' term; this appears from the context to be something much more basic than a specific VPN (which might possibly be the Intranet referred to...)
5 hrs
disagree  Kiwiland Bear: As others said - way too specific and incorrect even then.

Thanks David. I went with members-only area.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Kiwiland Bear: with "members only". Don't think "password protected" will do as it usually applies to access, fields and in general it's implementation detail of how the restriction is implemented.
