Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Gateway

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Gateway Service provides access to university computers from outside networks without requiring a virtual private network connection.

Getting started

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Gateway provides RDP access to on-campus Windows desktops from external networks without requiring a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Once connected, you will have access to everything your computer has installed or is permitted to access on the network. Contact your local IT group to configure your PC to allow Remote Desktop connections.
