Service Image for VPN

The Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provides an encrypted connection for your computer to connect to resources on the secured campus network. VPN is required for sensitive data traveling across public or other networks.

Virtual Private Network

When to use VPN:

You are working remotely at another location and need access to internal resources. If all of your work is primarily available over the Internet, then VPN is not required.
You are traveling and will need secure access to eCampus or other internal resources. (See our Travel Guidelines)

Cisco DUO

Cisco DUO is a two-factor authentication process used to connect to VPN. The DUO application is installed on a mobile device.
Instructions on how to setup and configure DUO will be provided during the enrollment process.

Instructions on how to enroll into URI’s VPN solution can be found here.

If you require additional assistance or require consultation please contact the IT Service Desk.
