By creating an encrypted stream between your computer and campus, USU's Virtual Private Network (VPN) server provides you with a secure, remote connection to the university network. Authorized users can access the university network from anywhere (home, hotel, conference, etc.) with a secure Internet connection. For the VPN connection to be established, the system authenticates users with their A# and USU password. The VPN is a SSL VPN.  The VPN service requires a client to be installed before it can be used.

 Instructions

Download and run the VPN

  1. Go to sslvpn.usu.edu

  2. Login with your A# USU password

     

  3. Click on the Download button for your operating system

  4. Open the downloaded file and follow the installation instructions. The file will usually be saved to your Downloads folder.

Devices that don't support SSL VPNs

Window RT and Windows mobile OS do not offer full support of SSL VPNs. Windows 10 Mobile OS users can try the Cisco Anyconnect application from the Windows Mobile app store.
