Users wishing to gain access to department printers and filesystems from their personal machines from outside the CS network may utilize the Duke CS VPN to do so. Please follow the instructions below.
Not all students are automatically added to the VPN. If after configuring the VPN you are unable to login, please contact the lab staff to request being added to the CS VPN.
Install the Duke VPN
To install the Duke VPN, please download the client at the OIT Software site. After installing the software, please connect to portal.duke.edu/comsci with your netid and password. The settings should persist across sessions.
As of Feb 1, 2018 MFA is required for the VPN. You can find details here. You will then be able to get access to filesystems and printers as you do when connected to the departmental network. You can access your files using a windows machine by utilizing samba, or AFP if using a mac. For more information on the Duke VPN, please see the following documentation.
