Overview
ECU’s virtual private network (VPN) is an encrypted, virtual tunnel between off-campus devices and on-campus information. Connecting to ECU through a VPN prevents data theft between the server and your off-campus device. For faculty, staff and students.
Users can only connect to resources for which they already have access. Account authentication is required to open a VPN session.
