remote access

Some of the online resources provided by the Education Resources Center are accessible from your home or other remote locations. See online resources table. To access these resources you need to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or a proxy connection on the computer you use.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a private data network that makes use of the public telecommunication infrastructure, maintaining privacy through the use of a secure protocol and special security procedures. It is more secure than a proxy connection.

In order to use a VPN connection, you will be required to install and configure the VPN software on the computer that you will be using to remotely connect to the Baylor network. BCM Information Technology provices the VPN software client and the instructions to download and install it.
