A VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection allows the user to connect to the school network from a network that is external to the school such as a user's home network.  It can be used to access local network services remotely.

To set up a VPN connection, follow this process:

  1. Download and Install the FortiClient app. This step might require admin approve, contact IT if you need assistance.
  2. Add new connection

  3.  Save 
  4. Username is the same one used while at the college eg, <LastnameFirstinitial> "kerrm"
  5. Password is the same as the college login. 

 

Troubleshooting steps

At the command prompt windows, type "ipconfig /flushdns" then press enter.  The dialogue box will confirm that it is successfully flushed.  You may close the Command Prompt window.
