Off-Campus Access to WPI Library Resources: Using VPN to access library materials

This guide will help WPI users access the library's subscribed content from anywhere there is internet access.

Using VPN to access library materials

WPI's Virtual Private Network (VPN) may be used for access to subscription information resources through the library but it is important to note that this option is only effective for some users and using VPN for access to library resources is not supported by WPI's ITS helpdesk.

VPN creates a private and secure connection from a remote computer to one on the WPI network.

For information about WPI's VPN services including instructions on use please visit https://it.wpi.edu/component/id/79.
