Info
  • Use the UMBC VPN service to access network resources that normally require on-campus access, even if you're away from campus.
  • When you are connected to the VPN service, all communication with UMBC campus network resources is sent through the VPN, over a secure encrypted connection.
  • With a few exceptions, only traffic to the UMBC network goes through the VPN connection. Access to outside websites goes over your regular internet connection.
