Virtual Private Network (VPN) Access
Virginia Tech Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN is a subscription-based service, that provides remote users access to Virginia Tech resources. You must be subscribed to either Virginia Tech Wireless Network Access or Virginia Tech Wired Ethernet Service. You must also be enrolled in 2-factor authentication.
The software used to access the VPN is known as "Cisco Secure AnyConnect VPN" or just "Cisco VPN." OIS will ensure that Cisco VPN is installed on your machine. If you do not have Cisco VPN installed, please submit a ticket requesting it be installed.
To connect to the VPN:
- Open the Start menu and search for Cisco to launch the new app.
- On first use, enter: https://vpn.vt.edu/VT-Traffic
- Log in with your Virginia Tech username (PID) and passphrase.
If you are still unable to connect via VPN after following these instructions, please submit a ticket to OIS stating any errors you may be receiving.
