OpenVPN allows employees to securely and remotely access resources on our internal network.

- Click on the pencil/edit icon next to each Bigelow profile

- Click "Sign in via SAML"
- When prompted, select or sign in to your Bigelow Google account
- Click the profile link "Yourself (user-locked profile)"
