VPN is used to access CASE RESTRICTED items such as servers, journals, Softwarecenter and certain other sites. It is not needed to access regular Case websites, and sites such as Webmail, Spamcontrol, etc.
VPN needs to be downloaded and installed before a user is able to log into it.
How to download, install and log into VPN
1. Go to
https://vpnsetup.case.edu/vpn3000.html and click to download VPN (The blue Windows rectangle...at the bottom of the page)
2. You may choose Run or Open, or you may save it to your "My Documents" for installing later.
3. Continue to click next, etc until it is finished. At that time, it will ask you to reboot.
4. After a reboot, to use VPN, you must LOG INTO IT.
5. Go to start/programs/cisco VPN and choose the VPN Client
6. Click on 'connect' and enter your UserID and password.
7. Once connected, you will see a small yellow lock icon in your system tray, near your computer clock. This means you are connected.
8. To disconnect (recommended before you shut down), right click on the lock icon in your system tray, and choose 'disconnect'.
NOTE: you do not need to use VPN if you are connected via Case's WIRED network. You will need to use VPN on wireless and outside ISPs to connect to Case Restricted items.
