BCS/CVS resources and remote access

There are three types of VPN (Virtual Private Network) accounts that members of BCS/CVS have access to:

  • UR (River Campus) VPN - provides remote access capabilities to resources located on River Campus. Requires UR Duo two-factor authentication using NetID. Details can be found here: https://tech.rochester.edu/remote-access-vpn-tutorials/

  • "BCS-modified" UR VPN - a UR VPN account that's been modified to allow the user access to resources located behind the BCS departmental firewall. Requires UR Duo two-factor authentication using NetID. Details can be found here: https://tech.rochester.edu/remote-access-vpn-tutorials/. Once you have this operational, contact Chris Freemesser to have your account "BCS-modified".

  • URMC VPN - provides remote access capabilities to resources located within the Medical Center as well as some resources located on River Campus

Note: People are reporting problems receiving Duo phone calls and text messages so I suggest using the more reliable passcode option instead.  When setting up your Duo account, add a device and specify that it's a TABLET.  This will let you add the passcode option to your smartphone.

The departmental resources that require a "BCS-modified" UR VPN connection to access are:

NOTE: accessing a lab/office computer via VPN also requires some kind of remote access software (like VNC) be installed on both the office/lab computer and the computer being used to connect to it

NOTE: it *is* possible to back up one of our computers over VPN using Retrospect but due to speed/bandwidth issues I will *not* set this up for anybody unless it's an emergency

Accessing CVS Medical Center resources remotely

The departmental resources that require a URMC VPN connection to access are:

  • the CVS printers located in the Medical Center
  • the CVSNAS3 and CVSNAS1a storage devices
  • any lab/office computers connected to the URMC wired network

NOTE: accessing a lab/office computer via VPN also requires some kind of remote access software (like VNC) be installed on both the office/lab computer and the computer being used to connect to it
