VPN

Service Description

VPN (virtual private network) can be used to access internal resources from off-campus.

Nowadays, VPN is required for only a few services, used by a small number of people:

  • On-premise file servers/shares (e.g., TempStorage)
  • Financial Aid PowerFAIDs
  • Cognos
  • OnBase
  • CX Servers

Please note that VPN is not needed to access The Claremont Colleges Library resources, Google Workplace, HMC email resources, the Portal, Sakai, or Workday.

Availability

Available to all faculty, students, staff, and emeritus at HMC.
