Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Biola’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) service allows employees with Biola-owned computers to remotely use services (like eFiles, WebDev, Web Helpdesk, Citrix, etc.) that would otherwise be unavailable from off-campus. Biola VPN access requires a Biola-owned computer with the Cisco VPN client installed. All staff and faculty are eligible to use this service once they register and accept the user agreement below.
