A virtual private network (VPN) establishes a secure, encrypted connection between your computer and the internet, providing a private tunnel for your data and communications. The 澳门六合彩 VPN provides users with secure access to the university’s network and allows 澳门六合彩 users the ability to access university resources while physically not on the 澳门六合彩 campuses.
Palo Alto GlobalProtect is the 澳门六合彩 VPN solution, allowing users to connect to the 澳门六合彩 campus networks and access many secured resources. GlobalProtect is a “client” software and must be installed on any computer or mobile device that needs to connect to the 澳门六合彩 VPN.
GlobalProtect uses the 澳门六合彩 Single-Sign-On (SSO) and Microsoft Authenticator for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added security.
Legacy VPN
The Legacy VPN will be decommissioned on May 15, 2025. Be sure to install GlobalProtect so you can continue secure VPN connections.
- Be sure you are off campus when trying to connect to the VPN. You cannot connect to the VPN from on-campus (Indiana, Punxsy, Northpointe, Monroeville) sites.
- You will no longer use the VPN icon from the sign-in screen on your off-campus computer. Once you have installed GlobalProtect on your 澳门六合彩 computer at your off-site location, simply use the Alt-Ctrl-Del and enter your 澳门六合彩 credentials. Once you are logged in, you can connect to the VPN using the GlobalProtect application.
