What is VPN?

At SUNY Geneseo, many information services can be used anywhere, but some are restricted to on-campus access, such as file servers, databases, websites, and privileged applications. Anyone who needs to use these campus-only services can either physically travel to the campus or connect remotely through a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN provides a secure, encrypted connection from an off-campus computer or device to Geneseo's on-campus network.

When do I need to use VPN?

The following list is a sample of Geneseo services and systems that require a VPN connection from off campus:

  • Appworx

  • Banner Admin Pages

  • EMS desktop client

  • Files server - including in/out boxes and personal, departmental, and project spaces

  • Library databases

  • Printing to a campus networked printer

  • Software licensed by the campus (ArcGIS Desktop, Mathcad, MATLAB, Minitab, Spartan, SPSS, Vectorworks)

  • Xtender
