Faculty, staff and students can establish a secure connection to the UConn network via the Pulse Secure client (a VPN software). The VPN provides an encrypted connection between your computer and the UConn network and allows you to access restricted resources.
Not all university services and systems require a VPN connection for access. You can log into and use many services, such as email, Core-CT, library resources, and OneDrive, off-campus without a VPN.

Overview
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to connect securely to a remote network via the Internet. This is especially important if you are traveling and using an unfamiliar network (I.e. airports, coffee shops, etc.) PSU maintains a VPN so that employees can access files, applications, printers, and other resources on the office network without compromising security.
In addition to accessing PSU services off campus via myPlymouth, you can access many of Plymouth State University’s networked resources remotely, using Plymouth’s Virtual Private Network (“VPN”). For example, you may wish to access network file shares from off-campus, or use Banner INB while working from home. You do NOT need to use this service if you only wish to use email or access Moodle via myPlymouth.
