VPN access changes

On January 4, OIT enabled a new full-tunnel pool (“AnyConnect-UofMvpnFull”), which replaced the previous pool. The new tunnel has greater security, capacity, and uses private IP space, which is more secure. Users are also now required to use Duo Two-Factor Authentication to access both the full and split-tunnel VPN networks.

As a reminder, you should only use VPN when resources cannot be accessed by any other means. Web-based UMN resources and services, such as MyU, Gmail, Canvas, G Suite, and Office 365, do not require VPN access. If you have any questions, please contact Technology Help.
