Note - This VPN method is being phased out in favor of the new VPN method, Cisco Secure Client. Please use Cisco Secure client if you can. If you cannot, please call the IT Help Desk at (417) 447-7548.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is technology that establishes a secure connection between an assigned OTC laptop connected to the Internet and the OTC network. This connection allows access to file storage areas (H: drive, R: drive, S: drive), OTC printers (Note: Files will print at OTC), remote access to a desktop located on the OTC network, Colleague, Outlook email, and any other OTC resources as if you were sitting at an OTC computer.

Connecting to VPN

  • Select the Wi-Fi icon on the taskbar of an OTC laptop.

  • Choose OTC-VPN.

  • On the next window, double-click on OTC-VPN

  • Click Connect.

  • Enter your OTC username and password, and click OK.

  • OTC-VPN will show Connected. 




Note: Once you are connected, you should be able to access all your OTC software and files.

Disconnecting from VPN

  • Select the computer monitor icon on the taskbar.

  • Select Disconnect.
