A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure internet connection that makes a computer think it's actually on the UD network even when it's far from campus. Since the computer is directly accessing UD's network, it should have the same security protections (updated software, anti-virus, etc.) required for on-campus computers. Employees using a UD-owned computer can use UD's VPN to access Banner INB / Admin Pages, Cognos or Avaya Contact Center from off-campus.
NOTE: If you're currently connected to UD's legacy VPN solution, RAVPN, you'll need to connect your device to UD's current VPN solution, UDVPN,
by installing the new client.
