About
ISI maintains a private VPN for students to be able to access the MSSI lab remotely. You will need a valid MSSI Account in order to connect.
Connecting
In order to connect to the VPN, students will need OpenVPN software configured:
- Windows users can use the all-in-one installer.
- MacOS users can use the all-in-one Viscosity client for 30 days free.
- Linux users (and advanced Windows/MacOS users) can use OpenVPN with the provided configuration.
Troubleshooting
Connection Confirmation
If you can open a browser and access https://meerkat.mssi-lab.isi.jhu.edu, you will know you've gotten the VPN configured correctly. You do not need to log in to this page. Simply accessing it is proof enough that you're connected.
Additional Settings
If the server does not do this automatically for you, you may need to configure a couple of options in the VPN.
