Off-Campus Access


It is highly recommended that you use DSL or cable modem connections to access networking when off-campus.

Virtual Private Networks

To access campus resources which are not available on your current network (i.e.administrative resources when on academic networks, off campus access to email via an email client i.e. Outlook, off campus access to the software library, etc.) you will need to connect to a VPN (virtual private network.

The SSL web interface can be accessed at camelvpn.conncoll.edu. From there, after you have given your Conn username and password, you can access a variety of network locations. You can also insert a URL in the Address bar at the top, which will allow you to view a webpage as if you were on the school network.
