Accessing the UConn Network Through a VPN Client
Faculty, staff and students can establish a secure connection to the UConn network via the Pulse Secure client (a VPN software). The VPN provides an encrypted connection between your computer and the UConn network and allows you to access restricted resources.
Not all university services and systems require a VPN connection for access. You can log into and use many services, such as email, Core-CT, library resources, and OneDrive, off-campus without a VPN.
