VPN Setup Instructions & Mapping Network Drives
Sometimes you will need to connect to Chatham’s network when off campus via a VPN. This is needed if you have software that needs to connect to our network for a license, or you may need to connect to a network drive found on our network. Always run VPN first when off campus if you need to access needed software, or network drives.
