VPN

A VPN is a secured private network connection built on top of publicly accessible infrastructure. The Campus VPN service provides an alternative to using the proxy server for remote access to the UCLA Library and other campus resources. Campus VPN access is restricted to registered students and university employees with an active staff/faculty appointment. CDH VPN is only for Humanities users and is used to remote onto humanities computers and access network resources.
