Husky OnNet is a virtual private network (VPN) software application provided by UW IT to provide a secure temporary connection to the UW network from off-campus locations and can be used as an alternative to the Libraries off-campus proxy service for connecting to UW subscription resources.
Note: There may be performance or privacy considerations when using Husky OnNet configured to route 'All Internet Traffic' through the University of Washington network (described below). Use of Husky OnNet should be limited to University-related activity, as it is subject to the UW Appropriate Use Policy and its own Terms and Conditions.Be sure to Disconnect when you are done.
Note: China and other countries may have strict laws and policies regarding VPN use - see FAQ.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides off-campus users with secure access to the Emory University's internal network. Emory VPN access uses a standalone client or web browser to establish the remote access connection. It secures traffic by encrypting communications between a remote computer and Emory's network.
Access: Requires a network ID and password. Users must also register with the IT Service Desk to gain access to the VPN. Call 404-727-7777 to complete this process. Update: This requirement is currently being waived for University users due to the Covid-19 situation. Emory Healthcare users should follow the standard process for gaining VPN access to the Emory Healthcare network.
VPN Client: Windows and Mac users should download the latest Standard Client - this is the preferred VPN access mechanism.
