The University of Delaware allows faculty, staff and students to use UD's Virtual Private Network (VPN) to log into resources usually restricted to on-campus use. Faculty, staff and students whose work requires access to restricted resources while working off campus will find VPN to be a useful resource.The VPN service encrypts data between your off-campus computer and your non-UD ISP and between your ISP and the University's network.
The VPN client software is available for two platforms: Windows XP (or Windows 2000) and MacOS 10.x.
