What is global protect?
Global Protect is Mines’ Remote Access Solution (a.k.a. a Virtual Private Network or VPN). Members of the Mines community who are not physically on campus can use this system to access resources located on campus and hence not available to the Internet at large. Network traffic leaving the remote computer is encrypted and sent to the Global Protect system located on campus where it is decrypted and forwarded on to the destination. The computer at the destination sees the traffic as coming from a computer at Mines rather than the home system. Returning traffic is sent to campus where it is encrypted and sent to the remote computer. More information about how and why you might want to use Global Protect can be found here: https://helpcenter.mines.edu/TDClient/1946/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=133729
