Enterprise Virtual Private Network


Enterprise VPN is designed to allow University Faculty and Staff to securely "tunnel" into campus over public networks, such as the Internet, and access services as if they were on campus. It is also ideal for use over campus wireless networks to secure information.

To better meet the needs of the UGA community, we have integrated Enterprise VPN with the MyID system. Any Faculty or Staff member may access the VPN with a valid MyID.

Enterprise VPN is configured to work in two ways. For users requiring access to UGA resources, please use the ugavpn group. For Faculty and Staff who require access to non-UGA knowledge bases, please use the ugaonly group. See the readme.txt for more details.
  • Refer to the Installation Instructions links below for platform-specific instructions.
  • Be sure to read the readme.txt file for the client you are trying to install. There is a groupname and password contained within that is required to use the UGA VPN.
