Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that allows you to securely access and
connect to systems and services on the Brandeis network when you are off campus.
It enables you to connect to resources as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible. With VPN, you can connect to a department network drive/file share (files.brandeis.edu), browse websites that are restricted to campus users, or connect to
your office computer from home (i.e. remote desktop connection).
All communication using VPN is securely encrypted between your computer off campus
and the VPN gateway at Brandeis.
