Overview
A virtual private network (VPN) allows you to temporarily create or join a private network across an existing public network by creating an encrypted tunnel between two hosts. The encryption protects the data your computer or mobile device transmits and receives over the internet, enabling secure remote access to restricted online resources.
VPN at IU
At Indiana University, UITS delivers a centrally managed, fault-tolerant SSL VPN service for use by all IU campuses.
Connect to the VPN
For the greatest reliability across the widest range of platforms and network configurations, UITS recommends using the Pulse Secure SSL VPN client (produced by Pulse Secure, LLC ), where available, to connect to IU's SSL VPN. The Pulse Secure client is the official replacement for the Junos Pulse client previously used at IU.
IU Groups VPN
IU's Groups VPN provides dedicated VPN IP space for teams needing to restrict remote access to their internal administrative environments.
What is the IU wireless access number?
