Virtual Private Networking
Virtual Private Networking

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) allows you to connect to the NJIT network from off-campus using the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of your choice. Certain network services at NJIT can only be accessed from an on-campus computer. VPN creates a "virtual" network connection to NJIT. Although you are off campus, it appears that you are connecting from the campus. This allows you to securely access NJIT network resources when using your ISP, staying at a hotel, or working from another location.

NOTE: Certain ISPs prohibit the use of VPN or have restrictions on its use. Please contact your ISP for information on using VPN with your Internet service before you proceed.

Services That Require VPN

  • Software Downloads
  • Logging into the ALPHA system
  • Filehost
  • NJIT News servers and Discussion Group
  • Accessing ADM e-mail using Outlook (different from Web Outlook)

For information on how to install your VPN client if you have already downloaded it, please visit the VPN Installation Instructions page.
