What is VPN and Why Do I Need It?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that makes use of a public network (such as the Internet), while maintaining security and privacy. At JMU, the CISCO VPN client establishes a secure connection using your JMU user-id and password for authentication.
Downloading and installing the CISCO VPN client is the preferred way to connect to JMU Libraries’ subscription resources from off-campus. See the web page on Connecting to JMU's Online Resources for more information about VPN and the alternative (the proxy server) for connecting from off campus.
