Campus VPN Service
Individual Heavy VPN Client
The heavy client is a legacy software program available for older computers running 32 bit OS.
You will need a VPN software client installed on your computer and your University Network ID (uNID) and corresponding password to authenticate. If you have questions about your uNID or your password, call the Campus Help Desk at 801-581-4000. The client is approximately 3 MB in size.

Older versions of VPN clients can be chosen "at-a-glance" from the VPN grid.
UIT no longer supports VPN clients for Windows 98 or earlier and Mac OS 9 or earlier. However the clients are available; contact the Campus Help Desk at 801-581-4000, option 1.

After installing the VPN client, you can test if the software is working as follows.

Using a VPN Connection with UGuest
The UGuest wireless network is bandwidth-limited. To use the campus VPN on the UGuest wireless network, open a browser. Once the UGuest login screen is up, login to the vpn client and then browse or navigate to the resources you need.
