Accessing and connecting to Yale resources and applications from off-campus
There are several options available for connecting to Yale computing services and the Internet. A VPN connection using a Yale Managed Workstation machine is your best means of assuring that your Yale business (and other online work) is secure and private, and cannot be accessed by other people on a public wireless network.
Please be sure you understand:
- how to securely connect to Yale resources
- what data you have, and
- what levels of protection are required to keep the data both safe from loss and confidential.
Method for accessing restricted resources
Many Yale resources are restricted to the Yale campus computers. VPN is required for a connection:
Yale Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Yale VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides a method for using a public network (usually the Internet) to securely access a private network.
You may establish a VPN connection by opening a Web browser and going to http://access.yale.edu. Enter your Yale netID and password in the “Username” and “Password” fields.
