New Virtual Private Network Mobile Apps and Software Upgrade, July 12
New Virtual private network (VPN) desktop software, mobile apps and instructions will be available after network maintenance from 7 to 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 12. During the maintenance, vpn.uark.edu will be unavailable for up to 15 minutes. After the maintenance, VPN users can find instructions and download links at http://its.uark.edu/personal/vpn.
For faculty and staff who work from home, VPN is essential for accessing on-campus remote desktops, servers or other resources. The university requires UARK users who are off campus to use VPN for connecting to the network as a security measure to protect university servers and resources from malicious attacks.
