This page details options for using the Campus and Departmental VPN systems, as well as using Remote Desktop and File Server Drive Mapping to do remote work.
UMD GlobalProtect VPN - Details available here.
The port commonly used for Windows remote desktop (TCP 3389) is blocked from off campus without the use of a VPN. The Division of IT and the College of Engineering have provided options to make sure that our customers are able to connect and easily work from home or on the road. Remote desktop requires set up by the service desk prior to use. If you would like assistance with this setup, contact the Service Desk at x51634 or eit-help@umd.edu..
Once remote desktop is configured by the Service Desk, GlobalProtect is required to access systems from off-campus.
