Description
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the Internet, making it much harder for others to see what you're doing online. It's like sending your internet traffic through a private tunnel, which helps protect your privacy, especially when using public Wi-Fi.
Some ITS services require VPN as an added layer of security. To access these services request a VPN account. Once granted access, you would need to run your VPN client in order to reach the service and login. Some services require VPN only when you are accessing them from off campus (examples: Banner & Cognos). Some services require VPN at all times regardless of your location.
Once VPN Access has been granted follow these steps to Install a VPN Client.
