If you want to access information which is restricted to the Duke network, you will need to use the Virtual Private Network (VPN) client or the Citrix Virtual PIN Web Client. Information restricted to the Duke network includes the following:

• Electronic reserves, journals, and databases
• Departmental IP-restricted servers
• Human Resources and payroll data
• Protected health information

You may be able to access some of our resources via EZProxy, which allows you to use your Duke NetID from off-campus without having to download any software. If a resource is available via EZProxy, a pop-up window will ask for your Duke NetID and password when you click on the resource. If not, you will need to download the appropriate VPN client for access.
