The ODU CS Department provides a VPN connection for those who wish to access private CS Department network services from a remote location. This can be accessed with vpn.cs.odu.edu.

What is a VPN?

In summary, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows you to connect securely to a network (i.e. the ODU CS network) and access private network resources that aren't available outside of the network. When you connect to the CS Department VPN, no matter where you are, it is similar to connecting your computer directly to our wireless Internet. For more information in a VPN, please visit here.
