UT VPN

Some campus resources can only be accessed (wired or wireless) via a secure connection using the UT VPN service. If you are off-campus, the UT VPN service places your system on a secure UT address space. This emulates your system as if it was physically on campus and connected via the wired or wireless UT network.

Two-Factor Authentication: Duo

Prerequisite: Duo

You must have a UT Duo account set up on a phone or with a code-generating token in order to connect to the UT VPN.

For instructions to setting up and using Duo, please see the campus knowledgebase article here.
