Who needs the VPN?


You need VPN if:
  • You mount a Windows disk share from your work computer on your home computer.
  • You need to access restricted services.
  • You use network protocols like NetBIOS to a host or service on campus.
  • You are using a public network, (for example, in a hotel, coffee shop, or airport), especially if it is a wireless network.
You don't need VPN if:
  • You check your UCI e-mail via IMAP with SSL/STARTTLS encryption.
Downsides to using VPN if it is not needed.
  • Slows down your connection
  • Uses resources others could be using
  • Adds a step to connect to UCI

There are two primary sources through which you can get hold of these cards - you can visit websites or forums that offer such services or buy them directly from Internet service providers.
