AWS Virtual Private Network solutions establish secure connections between your on-premises networks, remote offices, client devices, and the AWS global network. AWS VPN is comprised of two services: AWS Site-to-Site VPN and AWS Client VPN. Each service provides a highly-available, managed, and elastic cloud VPN solution to protect your network traffic.

Dec 28, 2020 A VPN creates an encrypted connection (often referred to as a tunnel) between your computer and a server controlled by the VPN company, and then passes all network activity through that protected. When using online banking services on the go, a VPN helps keep your data safe from hackers. With a VPN, your financial data is encrypted for maximum security.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN creates encrypted tunnels between your network and your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds or AWS Transit Gateways. For managing remote access, AWS Client VPN connects your users to AWS or on-premises resources using a VPN software client.

AWS Client VPN

AWS Client VPN is a fully-managed, elastic VPN service that automatically scales up or down based on user demand. Because it is a cloud VPN solution, you don’t need to install and manage hardware or software-based solutions, or try to estimate how many remote users to support at one time.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN

AWS Site-to-Site VPN creates a secure connection between your data center or branch office and your AWS cloud resources. For globally distributed applications, the Accelerated Site-to-Site VPN option provides even greater performance by working with AWS Global Accelerator.

• AWS Client VPN

• AWS Client VPN is used by your remote workforce to securely access resources within both AWS and your on-premises networks.

VPN Use During Temporary Remote Work Directives Spring 2020

In response to the surge in remote workers, IT Services has significantly upgraded the capacity and performance of the VPN service. As such you should feel free to rely on the VPN anytime you are working remotely. When connected to the VPN using the 2-Step Secured - allthruucsd group, all of the traffic to and from your home or remote computer has malware filtered exactly as any on-campus computer does. However, the VPN should not be used when you are not working, such as when a family member is using your personal computer. Note that most academic and student services do not not require you to be logged in to VPN. Faculty and staff are encouraged to use the VPN when working on administrative activities. Find information on VPN setup.

These services require VPN:

Vpnbook

• Shared Network Drives
• Cognos/Tableau
• Remote Desktop to computers or VMs
• TN3270 (IFIS/ISIS)

The UCSD VPN creates a virtual private connection over public networks using encryption and other security checks to help protect against computer data transmission interception. It also helps ensure only authorized users can access campus networks. With VPN, network computing traffic between your remote machine (off-campus or wireless) and campus passes over a single, encrypted connection, and your remote machine has a UCSD IP address.

Two-step login is required for VPN connections. Learn more about VPN and two-step login.
