This article will help guide you through setting up remote access to your Felician office computer.

Using the Felician VPN software will allow you to set up a network connection to the campus network in a secure and simplified manner.

Once configured and connected, your network connection will effectively function as if you were working from on-campus. This means internal resources such as the Datatel links can function from your personal computer, and that you will also be able to connect to your work computer without needing to use the terminal server firstremotely.

Info

The VPN will be completely replacing the terminal servers in the (very) near future.
