Introduction
Miami students, faculty, and staff can use this application to access internal Miami resources securely from off-campus or to connect to protected IT systems, such as Native Banner.
Please note: While IT Services provides a linux VPN client, it is supported as-is. If VPN is critical to your function with a university system, we recommend using a computer with a fully-supported Windows or Macintosh operating system.
