Working from home (off campus)
Staff and students: access files and resources from off campus.
Many resources are available online; some others, eg access to files on the network, require a direct connection to the campus network. This can be set up easily on your PC using the home VPN (Virtual Private Network) service: see below.
Home VPN service
The home VPN service allows you to access networked resources such as your files on the Kent network, eg, files on Bodiam or in departmental folders.
