Network/VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. UMIACS currently provides VPN access through a Pulse Secure SSL VPN.

Please note that enrollment in our MFA is mandatory to connect using the UMIACS VPN. Enrollment steps can be found here.

Getting Connected

Once connected to the VPN you can use the Remote Desktop client to access a Windows machine, as well as access a number of other non-public UMIACS resources.
