Overview
VPN stands for 'Virtual Private Network' which, in Carleton's context, allows you to access secured network resources from off-campus, and provides secure, encrypted network access. The ability of VPNs to provide a more secure network communication on public networks means they can be good solutions for those who need to get work done from an airport or coffee shop with an open WiFi connection. Please note that not everyone will need a VPN to do their work remotely; not all services require it. For example, while Colleague, SSRS, Advance, and the data warehouse all require VPN, you can get to OnBase securely using OnBase Web, without a VPN.
Carleton's VPN is provided by Palo Alto Networks, a vendor with whom we work on various aspects of our network security.
If you have any questions on the following information, please don't hesitate to contact theITS Helpdesk via our support portal at go.carleton.edu/helpdesk, by phone at 507-222-5999, or through email at [email protected].
