VPN

Virtual Private Network at Sacramento State has two main uses - authentication and data encryption*. It allows secure full network access through both campus wireless and open connections. Additionally, it provides a mechanism for remote users to access campus resources that are normally restricted from off campus access. It does so by first requiring the user to logon and authenticate as a member of the University community, it then flags the user's network traffic so that campus resources think the traffic originated at Sac State.

*Note: For those using VPN off campus, VPN does not encrypt data that is destined for non-Sac State addresses.
