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.

Navigate to gpvpn.loyno.edu.  Since our multifactor authentication is configured through Microsoft Azure, you will be prompted to login to your Microsoft account.  You will be prompted to authenticate using a code sent to your phone, email or you can just approve the notification sent to your Microsoft Authenticator app depending on how you setup your Multifactor Authentication.   After authenticating, you will see the window below.

2. Select the download needed for your computer from the selections above.  If you are a Windows user and are uncertain if your computer is 32 or 64 bit, open control panels>system.  Look for system type under the system details located in the center of that page. 

3. Open your downloaded file.  You will see the welcome screen. Click "Next".
