VPN
A VPN (virtual private network) is used to connect to the A-State network when you are not physically on campus. Global Protect VPN is only available on Windows and Mac devices; it is not available on iOS or Android devices. Fortigate VPN is available on Windows and iOS devices.
This is beneficial for people who need access to things like Banner 9 Admin Pages, Banner Workflow, Fileshare and Remote Desktop when you are away from campus.
You do not need to use a VPN in order to access the A-State Portal, A-State email, Self-Service Banner, Canvas or Touchnet when you're away from campus because these things are always accessible, no matter what location, as long as you have Wi-Fi access.
