The bSecure VPN service is a collaboration between Network Operations and the Information Security Office.
It has increased monitoring, and utilizes many of the advanced security features of the Palo Alto Networks firewalls.
This is most commonly used if you are accessing a resource that is licensed for UC Berkeley, such as journals licensed through the library only for campus users. All client traffic is routed through the campus network with an IP address associated with the campus. However, traffic meant for other sites like Google will not use the VPN tunnel. When using the split tunnel option, any traffic meant for destinations on campus will go through the GlobalProtect client and VPN tunnel. The bSecure Remote Access VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, using the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect software, allows CalNet ID–authenticated users to securely access the UC Berkeley network from outside of campus as if they were on campus and encrypts the information sent through the network.
