Installing UBVPN for Windows Vista and Windows XP

Introduction

The UB Virtual Private Network (UBVPN) Client allows you to securely connect to Wireless Internet Zones on campus. It also allows you to securely access UB resources while off campus when connected from third-party Internet Service Providers (ISPs) such as Time Warner and Verizon. It cannot be used from within ResNet, wired offices on campus, wired OpenPort connections, or dial-up to UB (UB PPP).

If you have previously installed the UBVPN Client, you must uninstall it and restart your machine before re-installing the UBVPN Client. See Uninstalling the UBVPN Client for details.
