Remote Access via VPN
FIT can now be accessed from outside the PSU network. A VPN connection allows PSU staff or faculty the ability to connect remotely into the PSU network using a secure connection.
NOTE: Once you have installed the VPN client and FIT, each time you want to sign into AIS to use FIT, you will need to complete the following steps:
- Make sure you are connected through your Internet provider or have dialed into Penn State.
- Connect to the VPN dialer.
- Launch FIT for Windows or Mac.
Prerequisites for using the VPN Client:
- Direct network connection (cable or DSL modem and network adapter/interface card) OR Internal or external modem
- For Windows 95, Microsoft Dial-Up Networking (DUN) version 1.2 or greater. (DUN 1.3 for Windows 95 is a recommended performance and security upgrade and is available as a free download from the Microsoft Web site. Windows 98 includes the DUN 1.3 functionality.)
