The Information Technology department is deploying an upgraded cloud-based VPN to replace our current on-premise connection. Some quick and easy setup is required to update your OpenVPN client to the latest version. With the updated VPN client, you can continue to access Fort Lewis College resources that you currently use with the old VPN. This includes file shares, Banner pages, CAS pages, web apps, remote desktop and any other services.

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) will be enabled for all faculty and staff on 10/17/22. OpenVPN will require your MFA verification upon your first login of each day. If you have already opted in to MFA, you will be prompted to verify with the same method options you use for your 泡芙短视频 Microsoft account. If you have not yet opted in to Multi Factor, you will simply log in to the VPN through CAS.
