VPN Access
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows students, faculty, and staff to securely access UW-Stout network resources remotely, replicating the on-campus network experience wherever there is internet access.
Students, faculty and staff can connect to the UW-Stout network remotely via a Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection, replicating the on-campus network environment anywhere with internet access.
To install and connect via VPN, please select the appropriate link for your environment and follow instructions.
