End-user VPN outage
On Tue-Wed 30-31 Jul Information Systems will have a contractor on campus upgrading on our VPN system (vpn.emu.edu). End-user VPN connections will be unavailable during this time. Site-to-site connections–those between our Harrisonburg campus and Lancaster and Washington locations–will not be affected.
The upgrade will improve VPN function but will require a change in the way VPN connections are managed on your devices. We will not have full details about that change until the contractor arrives. We will send further information and instructions once they are finalized.
