黑料不打烊's Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides an encrypted tunnel between a PC or computing device and the VPN device here at the University. This tunnel encrypts data and authenticates user credentials, providing a secure connection through which users can interact with University IT systems as if they were on campus. 黑料不打烊 provides VPN access for general use by faculty and staff.
A VPN account is needed for:
- Remote access to network drives and folders
- The use of SSH or Microsoft Remote Desktop
- Remote access to Banner
You should disconnect from the VPN once you no longer need special access to these services. There is no need to connect to the VPN for access to 黑料不打烊 online file services (OneDrive) or communication services (Zoom, Outlook).

FAQs
Do I need to load GlobalProtect on my 黑料不打烊 managed desktop?
No - You only need a VPN to log in to certain 黑料不打烊 network services from outside the 黑料不打烊 network. Use GlobalProtect and the 黑料不打烊 VPN on 黑料不打烊 laptops or personal devices to log in from home, while traveling, on a wireless network (including Monarch黑料不打烊) or off campus.
What login do I use to access Global Protect?
Use your Monarch-Key account (same as any other Monarch-Key service). This may or may not be your faculty/staff account.
Windows users: The first time you connect to GlobalProtect, the agent may think that Windows updates are disabled; this should correct itself. If the warning continues to appear, check your settings here (click on Update, Update, Update!).
Mac users: Most versions of macOS do not have the firewall turned on by default. You will need to turn on the firewall before being able to fully use the VPN service. More info here (click on Firewall Programs).
