Getting a PID
Students
Important: Remember that your PID cannot be changed once created, and you may use your PID@vt.edu email address for job offers or other official communications where inappropriate or silly words or phrases may not be appropriate.
Remote Access - Virtual Private Network
Note: The appearance, color, name, and logo of the Pulse client software has changed, but the functionality remains the same.
Update: To access Virginia Tech online resources that are not on the Blacksburg campus such as resources located on the Northern Virginia campus, set Pulse Secure (Pulse) to send all traffic over the VPN by using option number two (2) - All Traffic over VPN.
The legacy Virginia Tech PPTP Virtual Private Network (VPN) service was decommissioned on August 12, 2014. You will no longer be able to connect to the PPTP VPN.
