VPN

VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows users to access Philadelphia University servers remotely using either a Windows-based PC or a Macintosh.
 
Philadelphia University students and staff can use VPN to access the home directory, Artemis and other resources. Please follow the steps below to connect to the Philadelphia University network. If any difficulties arise, be sure to use the correct network password and disable any firewalls or security software that may be blocking the connection.

1.  Connect to the Internet.
 
2.  Open a web browser and go to http://vpn.philau.edu.

8. Double-click the "N".
 
9. A new window will open. Type YourUserName/Password and domain and click connect.
 
10. If the combination is correct  registration window will change to one with three tabs displaying "Status, Routes, DNS". There will also be a small button at the bottom to disconnect.
