UBC LFS VPN – from the Learning Centre – new VPN sign in requirements

Standard

From LFS Today – July 12, 2022

Tech Tip Tuesday: LFS VPN

 

We encourage LFS faculty and staff members to use the UBC LFS VPN to connect to UBC resources when they are working off campus.

The LFS VPN will place users within the LFS firewall, providing better security and access to some LFS websites that are not accessible from the general UBC VPN pool. The LFS VPN will also feature MFA with Duo starting Aug 3, 2022, further increasing its security.

Instructions on how to connect can be found here, https://lc.landfood.ubc.ca/connecting-to-the-lfs-vpn/.

 

Please contact the Learning Centre at it@landfood.ubc.ca if you have any questions or concerns.
