GlobalProtect VPN
GlobalProtect is a virtual private network (VPN) that provides secure and encrypted access to CSU resources. Users are required to use GlobalProtect to access certain CSU systems and services from off-campus.
Access to the GlobalProtect VPN is provided for academic or university business needs only. It does not provide access to services such as Netflix that may be inaccessible or altered in foreign countries. GlobalProtect does not allow connections to non-CSU resources via a CSU IP, save for a few specific exceptions, which are not added without a clear and specific business case. Social media, YouTube, etc. will not be added to the split tunnel.
How do I get started?
There are two ways to use the GlobalProtect VPN:
- The GlobalProtect web portal (gateway.colostate.edu or pueblogateway.colostate.edu depending on your campus) can be visited via your web browser, but only provides access to a limited number of resources and applications.
- The GlobalProtect client application provides access to a broad range of CSU resources, but must be installed on your device. For information on installing GlobalProtect, see the page that corresponds to your device:
Both methods of connecting to GlobalProtect require Duo authentication.
