VPN
Stony Brook's virtual private network (VPN) allows access to certain Stony Brook applications, resources, and services from off-campus.
NOTE: The VPN requires a Stony Brook email address and Duo 2-Step login prior to downloading and installing the VPN.
Before connecting your computer to our VPN you should ensure that your computer's operating system, antivirus definitions and other security applications are updated prior to connecting to the VPN.
If you are a student, many services can be accessed from the Virtual SINC Site without VPN access, such as
- MySBfiles
- Shared Department Folders
- Remote Desktop Connection to access files or application on work computers
However, access to certain campus resources from off campus, such as the PeopleSoft Administrative system and OnBase, you will need to use the Stony Brook VPN.
Important Considerations
Be sure to have your default Duo enrolled device available when logging into the VPN.
You can add and manage devices as well as update Duo settings from any Single Sign On screen.
Be aware that the Stony Brook VPN cannot be accessed from a computer on the campus network. You must be off-campus to access it or on WolfieNet-Guest.
If you are unable to connect initially, please try back at a later time.
