VPN Tutorial



Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a program that allows you to connect to the Case network as though you were using a computer on campus.  All information services available through the Harris Library are available from the comfort of your home (or through the campus wireless connection) when you connect in VPN with your CASE ID and password.

NOTE:  VPN will not work with many dial-up providers including:  AOL, MSN, Compuserve, NetZero, BlueLight, Juno and possibly others.  Even if VPN works with your dial-up provider, your connection speed will be greatly reduced.  A broadband internet connection is highly recommended for VPN use.

For additional information about VPN (including download and installation instructions) go to  Case Help: VPN (Virtual Private Networking) web page. Print out the directions before you begin. For assistance with VPN installation or troubleshooting call (216) 368-HELP.  This is the Case ITS HELP DESK and they will be able to answer your questions.  For assistance with Library services using VPN call the Harris Library at (216) 368-2302, or you can e-mail us at harrisref@case.edu

For more information about the campus network you might wish to view the Case Acceptable Use Policy , the Case Information Technology Services website and our web page on remote access options .

If you are unsure where your questions should go, please call or write us at the Harris Library and we will help you figure it out.
