= VPN service =
The Department no longer runs its own VPN service.  Please use the [[http://www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/ict/self-service/connect-communicate/remote-access/method/set-up-vpn/|college VPN service]]. VPN allows you access to restricted resources on the college Intranet from a machine outside the college network. Please note: the college VPN only works on machines outside the college network. 

Please see [[https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/csg-res/dynamic/secure/showhomedirserver|this web-page]] (authentication required) for information on how to access your departmental home directory service from outside college over VPN and through SSH.
