-======Ivanti/​Pulse Secure VPN Installation and Configuration====== 
- 
-:!:  **IMPORTANT NOTES:** \\ 
-**Effective 1/​4/​2021:​** ​ Olin's VPN service has migrated to a new connection endpoint (vpn.olin.edu).\\ 
-**Effective 4/​1/​2021:​** ​ Decommissioning of Olin's old VPN connection endpoint (jvpn.olin.edu).\\ 
-\\ 
-All users must update or replace their old VPN client connection to **vpn.olin.edu**. ​ If you have an existing **jvpn.olin.edu** connection, simply edit and update it with the new Server URL **vpn.olin.edu**. ​ Alternatively,​ you may create a new connection with the new Server URL and remove the old **jvpn.olin.edu** connection. 
- 
-The Ivanti/​Pulse Secure VPN client is currently Olin's only authorized 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 Ivanti/​Pulse Secure VPN service may take up to 30 seconds to complete the connection to the Olin VPN server even though the icon on the desktop shows the connection is active. 
- 
-=====New VPN Tunneling Options===== 
-New connection tunneling options available with Ivanti/​Pulse Secure VPN; Split or Full Tunnel.\\ 
-\\ 
-**Split Tunnel:** Only transmits data destined for Olin systems, services and/or networks through the vpn tunnel to Olin. All other data will be transmitted directly through your local network connection to it's destination. ​ This allows you to access and use any devices connected to your home network like printers, other computers, etc.\\ 
-\\ 
-**Full tunnel:** Routes **//all//** data to/from your computer to/through Olin's network via the vpn tunnel. ​ **Important note:** Full Tunnel prevents you from accessing network resources on your local/home network such as printers or other computers.\\ 
-\\ 
-We recommend using Split Tunnel from home and Full Tunnel elsewhere, particularly on insecure and/or open wireless networks.
