Prerequisites:

• Click on the "VPN" tab and select the "Download VPN Configuration" option.
• Choose the VPN client you want to use (e.g., OpenVPN, Cisco AnyConnect) and download the configuration file.

Step 2: Install the VPN Client (if you haven't already)

• If you haven't already installed the VPN client, download and install it from the Rowan University VPN portal or from the manufacturer's website.
• Follow the installation instructions to install the VPN client on your device.

Step 3: Import the VPN Configuration File

• Open the VPN client software on your device.
• Look for the "Import" or "Add" button and select it.

Step 4: Connect to the VPN

• Once the VPN configuration file is imported, you should see a list of available VPN servers.
• Select the server you want to connect to (e.g., "Rowan University VPN").
• Enter your Rowan University email credentials (username and password) when prompted.
• Click "Connect" to establish the VPN connection.

Step 5: Verify the VPN Connection

• Once connected, you should see a confirmation message indicating that you are connected to the VPN.
• You can also verify the VPN connection by checking your IP address or by accessing Rowan University resources that are only available over the VPN.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• If you encounter issues connecting to the VPN, try restarting the VPN client or contacting the Rowan University IT department for assistance.
• Make sure you have the correct VPN configuration file and that it is properly imported into the VPN client.
• If you are using a firewall or antivirus software, ensure that it is configured to allow the VPN client to connect.
