MCECS provides OpenVPN as the prefered VPN solution for accessing protected MCECS resources (such as printers, and computers that support Remote Desktop or VNC. Once you are connected, your network traffic will be directed through PSU’s networks and it will appear that you are connected physically to PSU’s network.

CECS vs CECS Full Tunnel

Tunnelblick For Ipad

We offer two configuration options for OpenVPN.

  • The Full Tunnel will send all of your network communication from your computer through MCECS networks. For example, if you browse to a website on the Internet, your connection will appear to originate from MCECS.
  • CECS or “Split Tunnel” configuration only sends traffic destined for MCECS resources through the VPN connection. Any traffic bound for other sites will travel through your regular Internet Service Provider (ISP).

The Full Tunnel is sometimes necessary if you are attempting to access PSU provided resources that are hosted outside of the University (such as periodical services licensed by the Library) but still require sanctioned connections to be coming from PSU’s own networks.
