VPN servers
The Virtual Private Network (VPN) server you should use to make remote VPN connections will vary depending on your operating system. See VPN at IU.
Note: For VPN when connecting from off campus, use the recommended SSL VPN if your campus supports it. The IPsec VPN at IUB and IUPUI will eventually be retired.
IU Secure is the wireless network for students, faculty, and staff to access on all campuses. IU Secure utilizes WPA2 Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access) for authentication and encryption; no VPN is needed.Your IP address
The IP address of your workstation is four numbers separated by periods (e.g., 156.56.12.33 or 149.166.126.155). If you connect via Ethernet in campus housing or via the modem pools, your IP address is assigned dynamically each time you connect. For help determining the IP address of your workstation or router, see How do I determine my computer's IP address? and IP addresses If you are a faculty or staff member, you can also contact your department's computing support provider.
For the IP address of your router or gateway, the first three sets of numbers are the same as your workstation's IP address. At IUB, the last number is either 254 or 174. At IUPUI, the last number is either 100 or 101.
Notes
Use the above settings to connect to the Internet from campus, or through the UITS modem pool at IUB or IUPUI. If you use a departmental LAN for your mail, some of your settings may vary.
These settings are not correct if you connect to IU computers through an outside Internet service provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for further information. If you connect through an outside ISP, you will not have access to some IU computing resources, including some library databases and outbound (SMTP) mail service. To access restricted services when you are connecting through a non-IU ISP, make a remote VPN connection. For more, see VPN at IU.
To configure your Internet software, you will also need:
- Your full name
- Your email (Internet) address
- The path (directory locations) of helper applications
