Colleagues will be prompted by Duo when they log in the VPN gateway.

Please install and use the software only on computers protected with up-to-date anti-virus software and firewall protection.
For security reasons, the GlobalProtect VPN client software should NOT be used on public computers. It then establishes a virtual tunnel to the campus network with authentication using the user’s EdUHK network account and password. The GlobalProtect VPN requires users to install the GlobalProtect software on their device(s).
The “Palo Alto GlobalProtect” technology (GlobalProtect VPN) was launched in September 2014. Users can access certain restricted IT services such as DMS, use SPSS and make connection to some central network servers using SFTP client software outside the campus. Data transmitted via VPN connection are encrypted. With Virtual Private Network (VPN), staff and students can make secure connection from their home computers or mobile devices to the campus network over the Internet.
