Data Center (and Remote Access) VPN

allows you to securely connect from your workstation to DePaul's Campus
Network or to DePaul's Data Centers. Connecting to DePaul's Virtual
Private Network (VPN) through the Pulse Secure client requires the use
of the Microsoft Authenticator app and BlueKey multi-factor
authentication (MFA). You will need to download the
Microsoft Authenticator app and setup BlueKey MFA at
bluekey.depaul.edu/multifactorsetup (if you haven't already done so) prior to accessing the VPN.
