Virtual Private Network (VPN)
VPN allows users outside of the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ network access to restricted resources (like file shares, servers, and desktops) on the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ network, as if they are physically located on the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ campus network behind secured firewalls.
If you connect to the VPN service from off campus, you will have identical access to your systems just as you do with wired or wireless connections to the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ network.
Who has access
