What is a VPN?
Bucknell's VPN secures your traffic while you're online and can provide some access to Bucknell resources that you would not otherwise have if you're off-campus.
Resources requiring VPN to access from off-campus
Here is a list of reasons why a Bucknell student or staff person might use the VPN:
- Access to Netspace (unless you use FTP to access Netspace)
- Access some Administrative Systems:
- Ascend
- SLATE (Administrative users)
- Blackbaud (Administrative users)
- Banner 9 Admin
- EMS, etc.
- Cognos
- Linux server applications
- Access Bmail from locations that restrict access to Google and associated applications
- Remote desktop to a Bucknell computer on-campus
- Print to university-owned departmental printers (staff only)
- Virtual Workstation (accessing a Bucknell lab computer directly)
