VPN Remote Access
CORE Resources maintains a VPN concentrator for remote access to our network. Below you can download the VPN Client Software and also find instructions on how to install, configure the client and connect to our network.
| What is a VPN?
|
A VPN provides an encrypted connection from your home to the NYP network, if you connect to the Internet with your own Internet Service Provider. Currently only applications listed under "Certified applications and instructions" are accessible through the VPN connection. The VPN does not provide the "desktop" or any icons you may find on your computer at your office.
You must be using a cable/DSL modem to connect to the Internet or an analog modem with a third party Internet Service Provider (i.e., not dialup services that maybe provided by Columbia, Cornell, or NYP), the software will not work if you don't meet any of these requirements. |
