The BGSU Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows users to securely access resources on the BGSU network while off-campus. VPN allows users, while off-campus, to connect to secure websites, BGSU file shares, on-campus only software, and your on-campus computer.

Information Technology Services (ITS) provides all faculty and staff affiliated employees with a VPN account that can be accessed using their BGSU credentials.
