Get VPN
Purpose 
 Many/most IT resources require the person to either be on the on-campus network (wired or wifi), or on the VPN if off-campus. If you are connecting from off-campus, you will need to first connect to URI's VPN so that we can positively identify who is connecting to the resource in question. 
 Connect 
 
 Faculty, staff, instructors, affiliates, etc. -- all non-student populations are already eligible to self-serve VPN setup and access: https://its.uri.edu/services/94530c3f3f00b35e6d294546faa3667f75f63fff22/ 
 Students are not automatically granted VPN access, but it can be granted by request by their supervising professor, employer, etc., or by ITS staff:  https://uriprod.service-now.com/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=f25739da970c3910662ff7021153af4e
