Overview of Virtual Private Network (VPN)

UC Davis Health provides remote access VPN for employees and non-employees, who are authorized to connect to the UC Davis Health network from remote locations. VPN should solely be used for conducting UC Davis Health business. This page outlines the minimum requirements and some recommendations for connecting a computer to VPN.

Duo authentication

NOTE: Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required to authenticate and connect to VPN sessions. Duo is a secure mobile authentication app for quick, push notification-based approval to verify your user's identity with a smartphone or other device.

VPN Software

UCD Health VPN users will use Cisco's AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to establish remote access connection. This client and the instructions are available here:

Properly Configured Firewalls

The PC at the user site must have firewalls shut off or allow the proper traffic to flow through the firewall for VPN to work properly. It is the responsibility of the user to configure their personal firewall for proper VPN operation. Many home routers come with built-in firewalls that can block VPN connections.

Glossary

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides security for transmission of sensitive information over unprotected networks such as the Internet. VPN relationships are established between trusted sites on the Internet making the public network appear to be virtually the same as a private network to VPN members.
