Virtual Private Network (VPN)

    Description:

    A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is designed to provide a secure, encrypted tunnel between your laptop or other device and the Trent network.

    The information transmitted between the two locations via the encrypted tunnel cannot be read by anyone else because the system contains several elements to secure both the Trent's private network and the outside network through which the remote user connects through.

    A Trent login and a software client are required to access this service. If you are using a mobile device or a Macbook, you will need to download the app from the App Store or the Google Play Store, depending on your device.

    Benefits and features:

    • A virtual private network (VPN) creates a secure connection to the University network which allows your computer to appear as though it is "on campus". This allows access to services not normally available off campus due to firewall restrictions.
    • Authenticate using your myTrent login
