HSU's Virtual Private Network (VPN) enables faculty and staff to access information on the campus network from off-campus. HSU requires that staff and faculty wishing to connect in this way use only the campus-approved GlobalProtect software (GlobalProtect is replacing OpenVPN).

Before setting up your campus VPN connection, you will need to request access to Global Protect via Account Settings. This will also add you to Duo Multi-factor authentication.

If you want to connect remotely to your on-campus computer please open a Help ticket.

If you are a member of the Duo Multi-factor authentication service, you may need to update your default device to a mobile phone, as Global Protect VPN will only send a request to the default device. To update this setting visit this guide (https://guide.duo.com/manage-devices)
