Texas A&M’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to access the university’s network from off-campus. The VPN connection creates an encrypted path between your computer and the VPN server, protecting network traffic from many common attacks that could be used to expose your personal information. Since the server is hosted with the Texas A&M University firewall, a VPN connection also provides access to university resources not typically available from non-TAMU connections. This service is offered at no charge.
