  Away this summer? Connect to UW network resources with Husky OnNet

  June 17, 2019

  

  Access files on the UW network from off campus using a UW secure virtual private network (VPN), like the free Husky OnNet for current students, faculty and staff. Off-campus access to UW resources on the UW network through remote desktop or a file-sharing application require a VPN. But web-based UW resources and services, such as uw.edu web pages, Canvas, UW G Suite and UW Office 365 do not require a VPN.
