What is a VPN?
The Virtual Private Network (VPN) service allows university students to securely 'tunnel' into the campus network from outside the university and access services as if they were on-campus. It can also be used over campus wireless networks as well. The service may be required by students to access services that are normally restricted to on-campus access only.
This service is provided to students free of charge. Students can use the university's VPN service to:
- Connect to a file share (mapped drive)
- Print to a networked printer from off-campus
- Remotely connect to a university computer (once that computer has been configured for remote access)
- Secure data transactions to the university's network off-campus
