How can I bypass CAEN's port blocking?
If you simply require access to files stored on CAEN's network-attached storage (NAS) server (storage.engin.umich.edu), you can use Secure FTP (SFTP) to connect. For instructions on using SFTP to access your NAS space, please see our NAS instructions. For information on obtaining SFTP software, see:
If you require access to other services, such as logging into your Exchange account using Microsoft Outlook, then the VPN is your best option. U-M provides remote VPN service to all University students, faculty, and staff. For more information, and instructions on downloading and configuring VPN software, please see:
Mac users, in addition to the campus VPN, can use CAEN's native Mac VPN service. For more details, see:
