Virtual Private Network

 

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure connection to the NPS internal network.

NPS supports connections from the Cisco AnyConnect (SSL) VPN client, and from the Cisco VPN (IPSec) client.

Either client will allow you to:

• Access internal websites/applications including, but not limited to, the Intranet, Python, Student Muster, and Student Option Forms.
• Map network drives (including your "H" drive).
• Remote desktop over to computers located on campus.

Since your remote computer will be connected to the NPS network, it must meet our security requirements. Operating system security patches must be applied, and anti-virus software must be installed and kept up to date.

The Cisco AnyConnect client will allow you to connect your home computer to the NPS network. Select your Operating System to download and install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client:

Microsoft Windows
Apple OSX
Linux

Many handheld devices, including the iPad and iPhone, have native support for the Cisco VPN (IPSec) Client.  The Cisco VPN (IPSec) client configuration settings and client software are available on the Software Download page under Remote Access Tools.  An NPS Login is required to access this page.
