UW Virtual Private Network (VPN)

  • Some resources are available only to those on-campus. In order to connect to these when you are off-campus, you need to establish a connection through the UW Virtual Private Network (VPN). This makes it look like you are on-campus to most systems.

  • Only your traffic to/from UW will be routed over the VPN connection. Traffic to non-UW sites will continue to use your normal connection.

  • Software/client set-up instructions are available for Windows and Mac computers on the IST website
