Computer Services
The PSFC VPN (virtual private network) provides secure communications to the PSFC network from the public Internet. By using the PSFC VPN, you should have access to all of the PSFC computer facilities, that you would have from within the PSFC.
In order to use the PSFC VPN, you must install the VPN application on your computer, or the app for your Android or Apple mobile device. Permission to view the following installation directions, requires that you have a PSFC computer account. After you click on any of the following links, you will be prompted for your PSFC username and password.

NOTE: Access to certain MIT resources, such electronic journals, or running SAPGUI, is not available using the PSFC VPN. Instead, you will need to either remotely connect to a PSFC computer, or you will need to install the MIT VPN software. If you need to use both the PSFC and MIT VPNs at the same time, please download the Prisma MIT VPN software instead of Cisco. For Mac users, you must first start the MIT VPN before starting the PSFC VPN.
