Bradley University Virtual Private Network (VPN)
What is VPN?
Most of Bradley’s electronic resources are available via the Web and require no special access software or permissions. However, some resources do have restricted access and will require special client ( MAC or PC) software to enable authorized use from outside the campus network. This client software is called Virtual Private Network (VPN).
VPN is used to access University specific resources from off campus using a secured connection over the Internet. VPN connections are generally established for one of the following purposes:
1. Map drives on a server
2. Run Windows terminal services or other remote control programs
3. Access or administer administrative servers
You do not need VPN to:
1. Read Exchange email from a web browser (pobox)
2. Run Acinquire
3. Access Blackboard
4. Access the Bradley Web site
