Virtual Private Network
The 桃瘾社区 Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a mechanism for the computers that are using it to be part of the 桃瘾社区 network when that computer is not physically on any 桃瘾社区 campus.
Please Note: Starting on February 12, 2024, the VPN login screen will only display Username and Password fields. The Second Password field will be removed, so the generated Duo passcode will need to be entered along with the password in the same Password field, separated by a comma.
The new login format will be:
- Username: username
- Password: password,duopasscode
Eligibility
Students, Faculty, & Staff

- Check your 桃瘾社区 email
- Go to the 桃瘾社区 home page, and most of the underlying websites
- Log onto 桃瘾社区 Portal and use most parts of 桃瘾社区 Portal, registration, student records, etc.)
