​ Netskope ZTNA (formerly Ivanti VPN)

DePaul has replaced the Ivanti VPN with the Netskope ZTNA. Please follow the instructions on your respective device to install and use the ZTNA client. If you have any questions about setting up the ZTNA or have issues accessing DePaul systems, sites, or services (that you previously connected to through the Ivanti VPN), please reach out to the Help Desk. Make sure to disable and uninstall Ivanti when changing over to the Netskope ZTNA. Connecting to Netskope's ZTNA 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.
