There are three different VPN services that support remote access requirements.
Campus VPN - provides a full tunnel VPN service that is a secure (encrypted) connection to the UCSC network from off campus. Common uses of the Campus VPN include access to File Sharing/Shared Drives and certain applications that require a Campus IP address. This VPN will NOT work when accessing the Campus network from many countries abroad such as China.
Data Center VPN - provides a secure (encrypted) connection for privileged access to systems in the UCSC Data Center. Privileged access includes systems administration, application and database administration or elevated access to IS3 restricted systems. *Data Center VPN is changing to full tunnel VPN in August.
