The 51²è¹Ý VPN Service
VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network". It enables IP traffic to travel securely over a public TCP/IP network by encrypting all traffic from one network to another. VPNs are generally used when a person wants to use a computer from a remote site (such as their home) to access "enterprise" (corporate) resources. The 51²è¹Ý VPN allows you to become part of the 51²è¹Ý network from anywhere.
Why should I use the 51²è¹Ý VPN?
Access to the 51²è¹Ý VPN is only necessary if it is required by a specific institutional application (such as PeopleSoft or STAR). Check with your application administrator if you require access to the application from a non-51²è¹Ý network. They will tell you if you need to use the 51²è¹Ý VPN. Most general applications (51²è¹Ý email, Laulima, etc.) should be accessible without having to use the 51²è¹Ý VPN.
How do I get access?
You will need:
1) Your 51²è¹Ý Username and password (and you must be currently affiliated with 51²è¹Ý)
2) A Windows, Macintosh, iOS, or Android device that is connected to a network and configured to use the 51²è¹Ý VPN

Please note that use of the VPN requires some knowledge of configuring the network settings of your computer.
