VPN & Duo

 

Using Frame instead of VPN

Rather than using VPN, Frame should be used to access network drives and Banner from off campus. Go to our Using Frame at 51勛圖厙 webpage to find out more. 

 

Duo Mobile Setup & VPN Access

Some critical and protected 51勛圖厙 systems require special access. If you believe you require this access, please contact the Help Desk by emailing helpdesk@uncp.edu or calling 910-521-6260. Requests will be considered based on the individual need. Before using the VPN client, Cisco Secure Client, you must enroll with Duo and set up your mobile device. Duo Security provides a two-factor authentication service to make logins more secure.

 

Requesting Duo Access

If you have not previously used Duo, or you have received a new phone and have not set up Duo for that device:

  1. Contact the Help Desk by emailing helpdesk@uncp.edu or calling 910-521-6260.  Indicate that you need to be enrolled in Duo.  Provide a good contact number (including a way to reach you if you are off campus) and your username.  
  2. The DoIT IT Security Team will then push the Duo Enrollment Email to you from within Duo.  The email will come from Duo Security <no-reply高餃喝棗莽梗釵喝娶勳喧聆.釵棗鳥&眶喧;
  3. Contained in the email will be a link used to configure Duo for you and your phone, tablet or other mobile device.  Open the email and the link on your computer, as you will be prompted to read a QR code with your mobile device as part of the setup.
