FHSU server from an off-campus location, you must connect to FHSU’s VPN (Virtual
Private Network) first.
- Once you've created a VPN configuration, the option to turn VPN on or off appears in the main Settings screen. When you are connected, the VPN icon appears in the status bar.
Note: Your VPN connection will automatically time out after 10 minutes of inactivity. Additionally, you cannot save your password for automatic connection. These are security measures and cannot be changed.
