***NOTE: Faculty and staff with personally-owned Macs may install our SafeConnect VPN so that they can connect to certain campus resources that normally require being on campus. This allows users to connect to network shares from their personal computers.***
***NOTE: For users who need VPN installed on their UWGB laptop, please contact the GBIT Service Desk.***
1. Make sure your Mac is up to date prior to installing VPN. It needs to be on one of the latest three major versions of macOS.
2. From a browser, navigate to https://safeconnect.uwgb.edu.
