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)
