Old Dominion 91Ƶ's Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides an encrypted tunnel between a PC or computing device and the VPN device here at the 91Ƶ. By connecting to the 91Ƶ via the VPN, users can interact with 91Ƶ IT systems as if they were on campus.
You need to connect to the campus VPN for remote access to ODU network drives and folders, the use of SSH or Microsoft Remote Desktop, and remote access to Banner, but you should disconnect once you no longer need special access to these services. There is no need to connect to the VPN for access to ODU online file services (OneDrive) or communication services (Zoom, Outlook).
