University of Miami Information Technology (UMIT) has initiated a virtual private network (VPN) upgrade, which provides the University community with more efficient external connectivity to resources within the University of Miami network. On Friday, September 30, the legacy VPN solutions at the Miller School of Medicine campus (sg.med.miami.edu) and the Coral Gables campus (sphinx.miami.edu) will be consolidated to the new VPN solution: remote.miami.edu.

Prior to September 30, VPN users should download the new VPN client software for their desktop computers and test their VPN connection at https://miami.box.com/vpn. Mobile iPhone and Android users may download the VPN client software from the iTunes and Google Play App stores, respectively.

For more information, review the VPN installation instructions and the VPN upgrade FAQs. If you encounter any issues with the new VPN client or the new connection procedures, contact the UMIT Service Desk at 305-284-6565 or [email protected].
