=Proxies=== Web Proxy ==If you're just looking to access library resources like subscription journals, you can make use of the library's [http://www.lib.vt.edu/help/extended/extproxy.html 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#Tunneling|secure shell socks proxy]] using a [[CVL]] (ECE) or [[rlogin]] (CS) shell account. = VPN =Connecting to the Internet through Virginia Tech's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network Virtual Private Network] (VPN) is the only officially advertised and supported method of accessing certain resources such as [http://network.software.vt.edu/ VT Network Software] from off-campus. Alternatively, you can use '''SSH tunnels''' or proxies to obtain a Virginia Tech IP address. Updated as of Summer 2021 (for Debian):# Install the "openconnect" package# Run "sudo openconnect --protocol=pulse 'https://vpn.nis.vt.edu/vttraffic'"#* If it complains that about 'pulse', then try: "sudo openconnect --protocol=nc 'https://vpn.nis.vt.edu/vttraffic'"# At the login prompt, enter your VT PID.# At the password prompt, enter you NETWORK PASSWORD. (This is not the same as your VT login password, but a generated with 16 characters like "ghrt-oiuy-dgfj-lkjl") To generate one or get a new one you'll have to go to your VT accounts page (found at https://vt4help.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_article&sys_id=5e76ba690f266500d3254b9ce1050eff#networkchange).# When prompted for password#2, enter the method of 2-factor authentication you want to use# Minimize the terminal you used for openconnect or enter ^ctrl-Z' to put the job in the background. If you now enter 'ifconfig' or 'ip add', you will see a new ip address assigned to you. ==IPsec==See [[IPsec]] [[Category:Howtos]][[Category:Software]][[Category:VTLUUG:Projects]][[Category:Pending deletionNeeds restoration]]
