On Tuesday, May 22, 2007, UMR IT will no longer allow customers to use the Virtual Private Network (VPN) for the purposes of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing applications. Customers who initiate a VPN connection to the campus network and subsequently begin a P2P session will discover that P2P has been disabled while the VPN connection is active. Disconnecting from VPN will re-enable P2P traffic through the customer’s normal Internet provider.
IT’s official policy regarding P2P and other file-sharing applications can be found at:

For more information, please contact the IT Help Desk at 341-HELP, submit an online Help Request at https://help.mst.edu, or send e-mail to the IT Security Team (security@umr.edu).
