Lehigh VPN

Lehigh is rolling out a firewall. For more details on that, see the LU firewall page. Unfortunately, no one at LTS bothered to make life easier for users by providing an easy setup for the VPN that is needed now to access one's own on-campus servers. I decided to use a built-in Windows 2003 feature and provide an easier setup for the VPN (LTS could have done the same). You can download two different VPN configurations for Windows (2000, XP, 2003, not sure about Vista):

  • Lehigh VPN. This configuration will send all your network traffic via the Lehigh VPN server. That means if you surf the Internet without even accessing anything on campus, the traffic will still be encrypted and sent via Lehigh. This is a rather serious performance hit. I would only recommend to use this configuration on laptops while traveling (e.g. from hotels, WLAN hotspots, etc).
  • Lehigh VPN split-tunnel. This configuration will only send traffic accessing something on-campus via the VPN. This means that you retain your current Internet performance while still be able to access on-campus servers. I would highly recommend to use this configuration in almost all cases.
