VPN (Virtual Private Network)
A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network.
Many licensed databases and other electronic resources are only available while on campus or connected to the Medical College of Georgia network. A VPN client is needed for faculty, staff and students to access online resources from off-campus.
If you encounter any problems, please call the IT Service Desk at 706-721-4000 or e-mail ITService@mcg.edu. You may also visit the Service Desk in person on the first floor of the Greenblatt Library.
