Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A VPN account is used through your Internet provider (Comcast, Verizon, etc) to make your home computer appear to be on the UML Network. This will allow you to access secure sites and/or systems that have restricted access to computers on the UML network. A VPN account is required for faculty and staff who need remote access to secure areas on the our network, such as network drives or our enterprise applications. If you need a VPN account, please contact the Help Desk.
