If you are not using Box or Box Sync and still have files on the N:\ drive, you will need to use the VPN in order to connect to the UT network when you are not on campus.
The VPN may also be necessary to activate Office or Windows for computers that are rarely or never on campus.

The VPN service will be protected by Duo's two-factor authentication system. To create your Duo account or for more information, please visit VPN with Two Factor Authentication . |
Computer Services pre-installs the VPN software client for computers intended to be used off campus, such as laptops.
If you do not have the VPN software installed, please open a web browser such as: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome and type in the following address in the address bar: http://vpn.utexas.edu
Follow the step by step instructions on your screen to complete the installation

A much better alternative to using the N drive is to switch to using UT Box instead. With Box Sync your files will always be locally accessible or through a web browser on the Box website and you do not need to use the VPN when off campus. Box makes it much easier to move from machine to machine while retaining access to your files. |
