SUMMARY
Davidson College provides a modern, flexible Virtual Private Network (VPN) system through Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN.
When a user connects to VPN, a secure line of communication between the user’s device and the Davidson network is established. This secure connection also encrypts the data, adding another layer of data security.
AVAILABILITY
Available to faculty and staff employees with college-issued computers. All Davidson-managed devices eligible for VPN usage should be automatically installed with the Palo Alto GlobalConnect VPN software.
GlobalConnect is only installed on Davidson-managed devices, and is not intended for use on personal devices. Access to the VPN software on mobile devices is available on a case-by-case basis. Contact ti@davidson.edu for more information.
DESIGNED FOR
✓ Accessing select Davidson services and programs that require enhanced security.
✓ Accessing resources on the campus network that are otherwise unavailable off campus.
✓ Keeping Davidson devices and the data that is accessed on them more secure.
SUPPORT
→ For questions about accessing the VPN or problem solving issues, contact ti@davidson.edu.
RATES
VPN access is provided to Davidson-managed computers at no additional cost to the user.
