- Configuring VPN on your iPhone
- VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows clients connecting from a non-Yale Internet Service Provider (ISP) to access services as if they are directly connected to the campus network. The VPN service encrypts all traffic between the client computer and the campus network, providing an extra measure of security, and will be required for all wireless devices to connect to the Yale network even when on campus. The directions in this document will walk you through configuring VPN on your iPhone:
- Tap the Settings icon on your iPhone.
- Tap General, then tap Network.
- Tap VPN on the Network screen, then tap Settings.
- Select "PPTP".
- In the "Server" field, type vpn.yale.edu
- In the "Account" field, type in your NetID.
- Leave "RSA SecurID" OFF
- In the "Password" field, type in the Password for your NetID.
- In the "Encryption Level" field, select Auto.
- Leave "Send all traffic" ON.
- Proxy: Auto
- Tap Save
- Note: You have to turn on the VPN whenever you need to access the Yale network. To do so, tap "Settings", then tap on in the "VPN" field.
