When working from off campus, users must use the VPN (virtual private network) to access resources located on campus.  Using the VPN is virtually putting your computer on Loyola's network. It provides a secure and encrypted connection between your computer and Loyola's network. It is imperative that this is done with Loyola owned computers only. Whether working from home or in a public setting the VPN connection should always be used when off campus.
