UNSW VPN

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

The guides to using it with Windows, MacOS and iOS are here.

With Linux, people at CSE successfully use this software and run: sudo -E gpclient --fix-openssl connect --hip --browser default ra.vpn.unsw.edu.au

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.
