OpenVPN provides secure, encrypted access to FAU Research Computing clusters, high-performance computing (HPC) nodes, and academic research network services. It is designed specifically for researchers and students who require command-line access via SSH or graphical session access via Remote Desktop (RDP) to specialized environments and academic networks.
Make sure the computer is on the academic network, if not security will need (in a ticket) the location, port number, Mac address, OS, and a reserved IP. Click to see Instructions.
The Research Computing Team offers several speed test servers across different University Architecture. Use these to test the speed of your PC on the Academic Network, different Florida Atlantic University networks, and even from home.
