Cisco VPN Secure Client
Access
Description
When you connect your computer or mobile device to a CMU Virtual Private Network, your device will act as if it's on campus. This means you can securely access CMU resources even when you’re out of the country.
VPN connections are encrypted, making them more secure than connecting from public Wi-Fi or your home network. The VPN takes your computer's request and sends it to a website or system. The requested data is then returned to you through that secure connection.
At CMU, we use the Cisco Secure Client to connect to the network through VPN. You have two choices when connecting to VPN.
