How do I connect to VPN for off-campus use?

  1. Open a Web browser and type in the address bar: sds.oregonstate.edu
  2. Login using your ONID username and password.
  3. The Cisco VPN program will install on your computer and automatically configure itself.
  4. A dialog box will pop up saying you are connected to the OSU network. An icon will appear in the tray of the computer saying you are connected.
  5. If you disconnect from VPN and need to re-connect, use the following settings:
    Server address: sds.oregonstate.edu
    Use your ONID username and password to reconnect.

  6. Note: For best compatibility use Firefox or Internet Explorer to connect to sds.oregonstate.edu
