Internet connections: VPN
If you're connecting to the Internet from outside the campus network or modem pools, the virtual private network (VPN) allows you to communicate securely and to access services available only via the IU network. See Using IU's SSL VPN service and The basics of VPN at IU.
IU Secure is the wireless network for students, faculty, and staff to access when on campus. IU Secure uses WPA2 Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access) for authentication; no VPN is needed. IU Northwest will have IU Secure by spring semester 2010; it is available at all other campuses except IPFW.
