Networking From Home

While at home or traveling and need to access resources such as the CVM Internal Web, you can accomplish this through the WSU VPN Gateway.

Things to check before connecting:

1. make sure Java is installed.  You can get Java or verify you have it by going to https://java.com/en/
2. Use only Internet Explorer or Safari.  Edge, Chrome, etc... do not work with Java

Note: This access method only works off campus, trying to set it up on campus will not work

• WSU recommends the use of local host firewalls for enhanced security
• Computers should have the latest service packs, critical updates, and security patches before connecting to the SSL VPN
• Antivirus software must be enabled with up-to-date virus definitions installed
