What is VPN?

VPN stands for “virtual private network.” Carleton’s VPN tool is GlobalProtect. Running VPN is a way of being on the campus network by remote. If you’re not already running GlobalProtect, here’s ITS’ guide to download and run GlobalProtect VPN.

Students working remotely for the Production Office please note SFS has stated clearly that “student workers working remotely should only access college data while using VPN.”

Running VPN can simplify other things as well. For example, see Using the Library from Off-Campus.
