WWU VPN
The Walla Walla VPN is available to staff and faculty who need the ability to connect to campus resources from off-site. You will need to be able to log into myWWU in order for this process to work.
Note: You cannot connect to the VPN over WWU Wifi (Resnet included).

Before accessing the steps for your specific device for connecting to the WWU VPN go to https://mywwu.wallawalla.edu/ and sign in. There you will be able to access the VPN configuration setting by clicking on the set of 3 parallel bars in the top left corner. From there select Remote Access (VPN) and the pre-shared key will be listed.
Android Devices
For this tutorial, we'll be using a Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 7.0.
Leave the fields blank except for the IPSec pre-shared key. Find the pre-shared key at myWWU.wallawalla.edu/account/vpn-settings.
Once the status reads “Connected,” you’re done!

iOS Devices
Add the description “WWU VPN” and set the server to "vpn.wallawalla.edu"
For the “Account” option, enter your Walla Walla University username (this is typically your first name.lastname). Here, “support” is used as an example. The password will be your WWU account password (the same one you use to log in to myWWU). The Secret Key is updated periodically and can be found here: myWWU.wallawalla.edu/account/vpn–settings.
When it’s done connecting, a box like this may pop up. If it does, just make sure that your WWU username and password are correct, and select OK. Once it shows the stats as “Connected” you know you’re done.
