The VPN (Virtual Private Network) service will have maintenance to increase remote access capacity.
HUIT (Harvard University Information Technology) will perform this upgrade during an evening maintenance window on Sunday, 3/15/20. Some time between 10pm – 12am the VPN system will be offline for approximately 10 minutes.
Please note there is an abundance of commonly used services and applications that no longer require a VPN. These can all be accessed with typical home/public Internet access.
Available via home/public Internet – NO VPN REQUIRED
