Reminder: Legacy VPN Retirement Scheduled for 6/30/10

On June 30, 2010, UIT will retire our legacy VPN (Virtual Private Network) that has been in use at Tufts for several years. As of this date, users will no longer be able to login to the old system to access restricted information. Tufts’ new VPN solution has been in place since last September and is available at https://vpn.tufts.edu.
Tufts VPN is a service that makes secure remote access to the Tufts LAN possible by using a point-to-point connection across the Internet with “tunneling” protocols that keep the connection private and secure. With the Tufts VPN web interface or the Network Connect client, faculty and staff, once authenticated with a valid Tufts username and network password, can access Tufts’ LAN from any computer that has an active connection to the Internet. There is no special software to install or settings to configure and it’s compatible with Tufts-supported browsers and all operating systems. Your network drives are displayed for you in an intuitive, clickable interface. In addition, you can access any area of the network that you normally have access to by typing in the correct network path.
