Note
May 2022 - SPU VPN technologies are currently being modified and this page will be updated in the process. These instructions may no longer be valid.
Overview
The SPU VPN is a secure connection method that allows SPU-managed computers to virtually connect to our on-campus network from any location with a standard internet connection. Connecting to VPN allows you to access resources like Departmental File Shares (ie. Matthew) or Administrative Banner that are normally only available on-campus.
Why Should I Use the SPU VPN?
Allows you to securely access your department shares and sync your My Documents from off-campus.
Automatically configured on SPU Faculty and Staff computers.
Connecting to the SPU VPN puts the connected computer on a network with similar access to on-campus fac/staff computers.
Please disconnect from the SPU VPN when you are not actively using on-campus resources, so that capacity is available for those who need access.
