VPN: Connect to Campus

Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides secure, authenticated remote access to campus networks and services. This means you can access servers and other systems that require some security while you are off campus anywhere in the world. While connected through VPN, your computer appears the same as any other on-campus computer. All network traffic between your system and campus is encrypted to protect it from electronic eavesdropping.

Use VPN when you need secure access to campus resources that would otherwise be unavailable on distant networks. VPN also provides an added layer of security for some services (FTP, Webmail, etc.). This is useful when you're working with a network that may not be entirely secure, such as a hotel or airport network.

VPN works with any network service without special settings. File sharing, printing, remote desktop, SSH, FTP, telnet, and Web-based services have all been tested with VPN.
