UNSW VPN

UNSW began using GlobalProtect as its VPN service in Feb. 2020.

The guides to using that are here.

The GlobalProtect server works with Windows and MacOS. We do not have a good set of instructions for using it with Linux.

CSE OpenVPN Service

CSE runs a VPN using the OpenVPN software. This works on all major operating systems and distributions and has a relatively straightforward setup across the board. This permits access computers on CSE's server, trusted and untrusted subnetworks in a secure fashion from outside of the university.

With some special configuration it also permits you to access sites outside CSE as if you were on a computer within CSE (and UNSW). For instance, this allows you to access services that only respond to UNSW IP addresses.

Please read our guide to the CSE OpenVPN service.
