• What is the meaning of the message 'remote host is not responding' that appears when trying to connect to the VPN from another university or business?

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that allows a remote user to use the Internet to connect to a corporate network, and once connected, to access services as though he or she was physically located on the network. In addition, all communication between the remote user and the network is encrypted, which keeps sensitive information private as it traverses the Internet.

Launch the VPN from https://sslvpn.rose-hulman.edu/

and authenticate to it by keying in your Rose-Hulman username and password. Leave the VPN running while you access various campus resources such as Banner, MATLAB, AFS, DFS, and library resources as if you are on-campus.
