Remote Access
UTMB requires a secure method of transmitting or receiving data for any user wishing to connect to computing resources from off-campus. Traveling faculty, staff, and students as well as those located at home can connect to the UTMB network with either MyVPN or Dial-Up Services.
MyVPN
Advances in technology and competition have resulted in very competitive pricing for user broadband access to the Internet both at home and while traveling through the use of wired and wireless connectivity within hotels and “hot spots”. Users wishing to take advantage of these high-speed connections (often 1.5-3 Mbit or 50x faster than dialup) to connect to UTMB can do so through the use of a secure application known as MyVPN. MyVPN will allow you to access Exchange email and departmental files and directories or other services behind the UTMB firewall.
To get MyVPN access, you must first apply through your Trusted Requestor to Information Resources Access Management (IRAM).
More information on Virtual Private Network can be found at the VPN site.
