Virtual Private Network (VPN)

From a home PC, you can access your H: drive and have easier access to the electronic journals, databases and other IT resources available to users on the College network. To do this, you connect via a VPN connection to College via an ISP.

Overview of VPN - with instructions on configuring your PC for the connection (installation) and how to connect to your home directory ("H:drive"). First, you have to register for a VPN connection.

Registration for a VPN Connection to College network - this is an online registration. You will be reminded of the Terms and Conditions of connections to the College network. Since a VPN connection effectively puts your personal machine on the College network, you should therefore have the system fully patched with the latest operating system and application security updates and have up-to-date antiviral detection.
