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.
