VPN access is not necessary to access email, Teams, One-Drive, and other cloud applications when off-campus. However, access to some UI resources, such as the S:\ drive, Banner, and others is limited to machines on the University of Idaho network. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a secure connection to the U of I's network from off campus. VPN access is allowed for all students and employees by default.
You will need to setup VPN access on your devices in order to access these resources.
Instructions on installing the VPN client for your computer can be found below:
