With a standard connection through AnyConnect, all your network traffic will be routed through CU-Boulder

You should be able to:

  • Access all library resources
  • Access file servers
  • SSH, remote desktop, CIFS, NFS
  • If you are unable to gain access to an on-campus resource with this connection, talk to the administrator of that resource. Refer them to the help information on the support page.
  • You can still access your home networked devices, like a networked printer.

Your external traffic is routed through CU-Boulder as well (like GMail and Facebook). Additionally, your IP address is located in the CU-Boulder's public IP space.
