CSBS VPN Access

The CSBS Department Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure, private tunnel between your location off-campus and the campus network. The VPN virtually places your computer on the campus network and allows access to campus resources such as network storage, software license renewals, as well as access to other college resources.

The VPN service will require your uNID account to have 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled. You can enable this and add/remove your Duo Mobile devices from the Duo Mobile Management Portal.
