VPN on the Web for Secure Off-Campus Access


What is VPN on the web? Top of page

Web VPN allows University personnel to gain secure (ssl encrypted) access to some campus resources from off-campus locations without installing a VPN client. The web VPN creates a virtual encrypted tunnel through the Internet -- no snooping allowed from your home PC all the way through the Internet to the University network. Web VPN allows access to certain resources that are typically only available on-campus, such as network storage and SAINTS (mainframe) access. Additionally, you can use web-based e-mail with this tool to take advantage of secure, encrypted data transfers.
