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 at https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISTKB/pages/262012949 for Windows, and https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISTKB/pages/262012942 for Mac, with more information here, https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISTSERV/pages/42588307544/About+the+Virtual+Private+Network+VPN#using-the-vpn.
