To VPN or not to VPN?

Did you know that Technology Services has secure offerings for most work-related applications that do not require using the VPN*? 

  • Microsoft Outlook (email), Teams, and Office offerings (Word, Excel, OneDrive) can all securely operate without the VPN.  
  • M-Drive files (edit and save) can be accessed without the VPN by using the Acronis web portal at https://acronis.monroecc.edu/signin 
  • Many additional secure resources are available without the VPN through the myMCC portal.  The Help Desk is available to assist you in finding the right solution to access files or applications off campus.  

VPN is required for Remote Desktop, which is used by users who support ACD phone lines, Banner “power users”, and individuals with specialized software packages from off campus, as well as for direct file-share access to the M Drive.

See How to Access Commonly used MCC Resources from Off-Campus under Accessing MCC Systems Off Campus in Tech Tips (https://www.monroecc.edu/go/techtips).

 

*VPN is Virtual Private Network, for which MCC uses Cisco AnyConnect, found at myvpn.monorecc.edu
