PSU’s Virtual Private Network allows you to use your home computer or device to connect to resources (such as Banner or Cognos) that are normally limited to on-campus access. By connecting to VPN, you can also protect any personal data you send over the internet while off campus. Faculty and staff can also use the VPN to connect to work computers from home.

To connect to the VPN, you must enroll in Duo Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). For more information, reference VPN Connections Using Duo Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). PSU Uses Cisco Secure Client software to connect to VPN. |
