How do I connect to Rose-Hulman's network from home?
If you have a third-party ISP, use the SSLVPN client as explained here: VPN. Following software installation, authenticate using your Rose-Hulman username and password. The VPN allows a remote user to access various campus resources such as: network-licensed software (ANSYS, MATLAB, etc), network file shares (AFS, DFS), software distribution server, and library resources.
It should be noted that if you are having trouble connecting to the Rose network and have a Roadrunner cable connection, you may need to call their customer service center and ask that ports 500 through 4500 be opened so that you can connect.
