Current employees and students can use Global Protect to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to the UTRGV network. GlobalProtect operates in two modes:
- Always On - Automatically connects to the campus network. Installed on university-owned Windows laptops by default (replaced DirectAccess).
- Gateway autoconfigured to either connect.utrgv.edu (domain computers) or directconnect.utrgv.edu (intune computers)
- On-Demand - The user must open the app and connect. Provided for privately-owned devices (replaced Forticlient).
- Gateway manually configured to myvpn.utrgv.edu (personal computers)
