A Virtual Private Network (VPN) service allows you to create a private encrypted connection over the internet between your device and the DMC Network.

Del Mar's VPN allows you to connect to the college network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible.

Features

• When using VPN, your off-campus computer is dynamically assigned a DMC IP address to connect back to DMC's network.
• A DMC IP address allows you access to DMC's computing resources and certain campus services (e.g., department file shares and print servers).

Designed For

• Faculty
• Staff

Requirements

• IT approval for VPN access

Data Security

• VPN provides encryption from your computer to the college's VPN gateway. While VPN provides encryption between your computer and the Del Mar College network, be aware that other security measures, such as proper password use, operating system security patches, firewall settings, up-to-date virus scanners, etc., are still required to protect the data you are sending electronically. Please use caution and do not send your passwords or other confidential information over a public network connection. (Note: Logging in to an HTTPS destination is secure.)
