What is a VPN?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a program that allows your computer to act as though it is connected to the internet in a specific location, in this case TCNJ, that then allows you to access specific services that are normally only avalaible on-campus that would otherwise not be available from off-campus locations, such as from home.
To ensure the security of TCNJ networks only operating systems with the latest security updates may utilize the TCNJ VPN service. End of life operating systems like Windows 7, Windows 8 & 8.1, macOS 10.12 (Sierra), macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), and macOS 10.14 (Mojave) which no longer receive security updates are not permitted to connect to VPN
In order to download and connect to the VPN, you will first need to set up DUO Multifactor Authentication using your phone. Please follow the instructions found in this Knowledge Base article on how to set up your DUO account.
For the directions on how to download the VPN, please refer to the instructions attached to the right.
At the present time, VPN is only supported for Windows and Mac OS.
