OCAD provides VPN (Virtual Private Network) access to all administrative employees for the purpose of business continuity.
A VPN provides a secure extension of a private network (OCAD's internal network) into an insecure network (the Internet). It allows authenticated users to access services (ie. network drives, remote desktop) that would normally be blocked from access outside the institution.
IMPORTANT: Never reveal your username and password to anyone. IT Services will never request for you to provide your username and password via e-mail. Please ensure that you disconnect from the VPN when you have completed your work.
You do not need VPN to access OCADU email, O365 shared drive contents, or other web services, as they can be accessed through a web browser from any remote location. VPN access is appropriate for those users needing access to their office workstation from external locations, or those who need access to department-specific internal services that are not accessible remotely.
