This is a followup to last Friday's meeting. We are now ready to
announce the central campus VPN access service.
Details on using the central VPN access can be found at:
http://network.msu.edu/public/vpn/
For those of you who may not be familiar with the term VPN (Virtual
Private Network), this server provides an access "tunnel" from your
client computer to a remote network. This tunnel is intended to
allow you to bypass restrictions which may be present at the network
border, or those imposed by the various servers and services on the
target network.
In particular, at MSU, we are blocking the Microsoft networking
protocols at MSU's border. Use of the central VPN access service
will permit you to reach these services from your computer, when
connected from locations off-campus.
