The Pulse Secure (formerly known as Juniper Pulse) VPN client is Olin's current method of remotely connecting to internal network resources from off campus.

Please only load the VPN client on Olin or personal systems. Do not load the client on any public kiosk style or non-personal machines.

Please note that the new Pulse Secure VPN service may take up to 30 seconds for your machine to complete the connection to the Olin VPN server even though the icon on the desktop shows the connection is active.

You may choose to use the web based interface to access network resources after logging into the web portal: https://jvpn.olin.edu using your network credentials.

There is a list of bookmarked links to commonly used sites as well as a file section that provides direct access o the Olin internal file cluster and user home folders.

When accessing file shares in this manner, you will have to download the files you would like to modify to your local machine, modify them, then upload them back to your location on the network file share through the web portal.

Please Note: To run networked applications such as Matlab, you must use the client software so your computer is recognized as being on the Olin domain.

With the introduction of the PulseSecure VPN client Olin has implemented what is known as split tunneling. This allows users to utilize their home Internet connection for all non-olin resources and not have traffic routed through Olin's network unless it is destined for Olin resources. Library resources are a prime example, previously you could go directly to these resources and you would be coming from an Olin owned IP address. This is no longer the case and you will need to use the Library web site to gain access to these resources.
