VPN - Remote Access to Network Drives
Create an IT Ticket
VPN is used by Selkirk staff to access network resources remotely from an IT provisioned laptop.
VPN access needs to be requested through the IT Service Desk. Once requested, IT will install the software on your laptop and you will be added to a group that allows access to specific resources on the network.
All VPN connections will time out after 60 minutes of inactivity.
NOTE: Internet connectivity is required to launch VPN.
Launch VPN on your laptop. There are two ways to launch VPN:
Via the VPN icon in your taskbar:
select the caret (^), and then the VPN globe as shown below.
Select from the program list via the start menu in the lower left of your screen
→
Click "connect" Make sure that access.selkirk.ca is entered
Enter your Selkirk College email address and password in the applicable fields and click "OK".
It will display as "connected" when successful.
Now you should be successfully connected and your network drives mapped.
