How can I remotely access the Physics Windows system from off-campus (or anywhere outside the firewall)?
The preferred method for off-campus access of our systems is to use the Windows Remote Desktop client. Please read the separate tutorial on Terminal Services / Remote Desktop. You can also access our system (in a more limited way) using our Virtual Private Network (VPN). You need to request permission to use the VPN, and you’ll need to install the client software on your computer. General instructions and downloads of the VPN client for Windows, Mac or Linux computers are available from the KSU VPN site. You need to have a University eID to download the software from there. You can get the files from the Physics department right here: • Windows • Mac OSX • Linux In addition you need the Physics profile file, which needs to be saved to the “Profiles” sub-directory of the VPN program. Please note that for security you can access only Physics department addresses while running the VPN client. You will not be able to generally browse the web, read e-mail or anything else, so plan ahead, ha
