What's the difference between split tunnel and full tunnel VPN? With split tunnel VPN, only network traffic to and from UOnet is secured and routed between your device and campus. With full tunnel VPN, all network traffic to and from your device is secured and routed through UOnet. This is generally only necessary for access to off-campus electronic resources licensed by the library.
