Access State Network
from a Remote Location
 
Virtual Private Network (VPN) access is required in order to access your work computer and files from a remote location. The first step is for the requestor to obtain a VPN key account. This must be done prior to any emergency or evacuation.
 
Customer Agency Employees: to place a request for a VPN account, contact your agency IT manager or your agency VPN contact person. If your agency I/T manager does not know or remember the name of your agency VPN person, call the DOIT Help Desk at 860-622-2300 option 9. The HELP Desk will be able to tell you the name of your agency VPN person.
 
Your assigned agency VPN person would submit a request to DOIT to have the account set up.  
 
DOIT employees: please place a request for VPN access through your unit manager.
