In the interest of security, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Secure SHell (SSH) connections made to our resources from outside of the campus network are blocked, with a couple exceptions noted below. Such connections can still be established by being on our VPN. This page is intended to provide information on how to connect to the VPN.
Remote Access Policy
Inbound RDP and SSH access are restricted to all resources with the following exceptions:
- Our Virtual Computing Lab (vcportal.cs.odu.edu)
- Our departmental Linux machines (linux.cs.odu.edu)
RDP/ SSH connections will not be blocked if they originate anywhere on campus. Besides the caveats mentioned above, remote access to all servers/workstations will require that a connection be established to our VPN first.
VPN
Our VPN is available to Students, Faculty, and Staff. The only requirement for connecting to the VPN is a valid CS account.
[Instructions for connecting to the VPN]
Note: Some guest accounts are not initially granted VPN access. If such access is required, send an email to root@cs.odu.edu and CC the head of the research group you are associated with for confirmation.
Connecting Printers (MacOS)
Below is a guide for setting up connection to printers once connected through a VPN connection.

FAQ
"After establishing a connection to the GlobalProtect VPN on Windows, the new VPN network shows up as unidentified/unknown. Why?"
- The GlobalProtect VPN doesn't assign a default gateway as it isn't needed. Windows determines networks with no default gateway set to be unidentified/unknown by default. This is expected behavior.
