Configuring the UT VPN Client

A Phone with the DUO App is required to use the UT VPN client.

If you are on a PRC-managed desktop, please email help@prc.utexas.edu to install the UT VPN client. PRC-managed laptops already have the UT VPN client installed.

If you are a new user, please submit a ticket request to help@prc.utexas.edu to be added to the server prior to your first connection attempt. 

1. Locate the VPN Client icon and connect to the UT VPN.
2. When VPN starts for the first time it will ask for the VPN server name. Type in vpn.utexas.edu. Append the appropriate private group. Click connect. (ex. vpn.utexas.edu/vpn-prccoach)
3. GROUPS: 
   1. vpn-prccoach
   2. vpn-russell 
   3. vpn-yeager
   4. prc
      
      
      
      
4. Next, type in your EID credentials in the UTexas portal.  If you need to access a specific service or server, enter your EID username. 
   1. 1. UT EID: YourEID
      2. Password: Enter your EID password.  

    4. Duo Passcode: Type the verification code on your device to approve the connection.

  5. The VPN will connect successfully.
