If you are not using Box or Box Sync or and still have files on the N:\ drive, you will need to use the VPN in order to connect to the UT network when you are not on campus.
The VPN may also be necessary to activate Office or Windows for computers that are rarely or never on campus.

A preferred alternative to using the N drive is to switch to using UT Box instead. With Box your files will always be locally accessible and they are automatically saved to the cloud as well and you do not need to use the VPN when off campus.
This makes it much easier to move from machine to machine while retaining access to your files.
