If you are off campus and need to access campus resources, such as CHG servers, you will need to use the VPN to obtain a campus IP in order to have access to those resources. Effective March 6th, 2017, UCSB switched to a new VPN service (Pulse Secure Connect) and the Tunnelblick and OpenVPN clients are now deprecated.

  • Choose the appropriate VPN software from the list based on your operating system.
  • You will need to enter your UCSB NetID username and password in order to download the software.

The software can co-exist "peacefully" - although you will not be able to connect to the campus OpenVPN server after March 6, 2017.)"
