Proxies
Web Proxy
If you're just looking to access library resources like subscription journals, you can make use of the library's web-based proxy.
SSH Tunnel
If you're looking for a quick and dirty way to obtain a VT IP, you can run a secure shell socks proxy using a CVL (ECE) or rlogin (CS) shell account.
VPN
Connecting to the Internet through Virginia Tech's Virtual Private Network (VPN) is the only officially advertised and supported method of accessing certain resources such as VT Network Software from off-campus. Alternatively, you can use SSH tunnels or proxies to obtain a Virginia Tech IP address.
Important: You must first create a Remote Access ID to be able to log into the VPN. This is different from your normal VT PID password. This is the Network Account information on your Accounts page.
As of September 2014, the software that runs the VPN has changed and no new instructions have been written yet. For now, you can follow these instructions for Arch Linux.
