Find options for accessing UC San Diego network resources from off campus using Internet service providers (ISPs) other than UC San Diego (e.g., Spectrum, AT&T, Cox).
Connect using the UCSD Virtual Private Network (VPN).
With VPN, you can access UCSD services safely from off campus. Traffic between your remote machine (off-campus or wireless) and campus passes over a single encrypted connection, and your remote machine has a UCSD IP address.
- To access, see VPN at UCSD.
Determine which SMTP server to use.
- See Sending E-mail from Non-UC San Diego Internet Service Providers to determine the correct SMTP server for your ISP.
- See Configuring Your E-mail Client for instructions on configuring the most commonly used mail clients. Review the steps for Send and Receive for your client.
