VPN (virtual private networking) lets you access resources on the Amherst network from off-campus that normally are blocked from such access.
The college has several VPN services designed to provide access to different systems and services on the college network. Most users will use GlobalProtect VPN to access services such as network shares (I: and U: drives) and Colleague from off-campus.
A subset of users will use specialized VPN services to access services such as card services (VPN CBORD), HVAC services (VPN HVAC), and the digital phone system (VPN VOIP). If you require access to these specialized VPN systems please contact AskIT.
