VPN - Connection Methods


This article shares information about each of the connection methods available to you when using the UA VPN.

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, provides a secure way for your off-campus device to connect to the UA's network. It is an especially valuable tool when you are on an unsecured wireless network (for example, coffee shops, and airports).

UA VPN requires you to log in with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). To set up 2FA, visit Two-Factor Authentication Using Duo (NetID+).

If you are using a department VPN, see the VPN - Connect Using Department Profile knowledge article.

Note: NetID+ is the UA's branded term for 2FA so you may see this term used interchangeably with 2FA and Duo.
