VPN at Loyola
Installing, Configuring, and Using the Loyola Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The Loyola VPN allows you to access the Loyola network from your home computer, as if your computer was part of the Loyola network. This allows you to use Remote Desktop and to access web-based applications that are only accessible from the Loyola network, such as Kronos.
If you need a VPN account, please fill out the request form at http://www.luc.edu/its/pdfs/idreqform.pdf . The ITS Support Center will then create your VPN account and send you instructions on installing and using your VPN account.
