This allows you to access services such as MyView (HR) and FIS (Finance) which have not been previously accessible from outside the UCL network

To use the new service, go to http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/staff/network/vpn and follow the guidance.Your computer must have up-to-date anti-virus and firewall software installed before the VPN service will operate.
