RD Gateway

RD Gateway establishes a secure connection to remote Stony Brook computers.

An RD Gateway allows you to more safely connect through Remote Desktop Protocol to a Windows system because connections use HTTPS instead of connecting directly.

Benefits

Increased Security
Remote access to Servers & Workstations
Off Campus Connections

Details

The RD Gateway can be used for any Windows system on campus that allows for RDP and accepts connections from the RD Gateway (this includes Windows workstations). Connect from both on and off campus (without the need for VPN). Anyone with a valid NetID and Duo account can use it.
