A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that protects network traffic. When
using OSU's VPN your traffic is sent through campus even when at home or another location.
When away from campus using OSU's VPN is required for remote desktop and network drives.
OSU provides the Cisco AnyConnect for Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Linux
operating systems from the website Installing OSU's VPN. For mobile devices, download the Cisco AnyConnect app from your device’s app store. You
must have active O-Key credentials and be an active OSU employee or current OSU student. Computers that are connected on-campus do not need the OSUVPN client installed.
