Virtual Private Network (VPN) for Faculty and Staff
Is Virtual Private Network (VPN) right for you?
Using the CISCO virtual private network, this service provides employees of the University the ability to work remotely in a secure way, by encrypting all data that you send and receive. This will allow you to use your 丁香园AV computer the same way as you would use it on campus.
For security reasons, as VPN provides access to 丁香园AV systems and data, VPN is installed only on 丁香园AV computers deployed by TSC.
However, some resources (e.g. M drive, O drive, NAV) can only be accessed remotely via VPN. VPN provides a secure way to work remotely by encrypting certain campus IT resources.
You will NOT need a VPN connection to access:
- UW public web pages (www.uwinnipeg.ca)
- Outlook Email (Web Version)
- WebAdvisor
- Nexus
- OneDrive
- Prophix
- MyHR
REQUESTING VPN
Please contact the Service Desk to submit a request. Please include a list of the IT services you need to access remotely. You will also need to include the approval from your manager.
