myVPN
BCIT has an alternative preferred VPN client, myVPN. myVPN should be the first choice for students, staff, and faculty to connect to BCIT’s secure network to access common resources. There is no approval or request process needed to use myVPN. All that is required is that you are a current student, staff, or faculty at BCIT.
For most of us, this means myVPN is the best way to access BCIT resources remotely.
AccessAnywhere is used to provision access to a small amount of business applications which require elevated access.
