 ====== Remote Access VPN ======
-Using the remote access VPN will allow you to securely access La Salle High School intranet resources (such as network drives, the business portal, and even printers) from any Internet connection.
+The VPN should automatically connect when you're off-site and connected to the Internet. If you're having trouble getting connected, check your wireless connections list. You may see the "La Salle High School" connection stuck in the connecting state. To fix this, try the following:
-Please note that there is no need to use the VPN while at La Salle and doing so may cause unexpected behavior.
+  - Restart the computer. Do not log back in.
-====== Connecting to the La Salle VPN ======
+  - At the lock screen, look at the network icon in the bottom right. Wait for it to connect to your network.
-You can connect to the VPN from any teacher or staff computer managed by La Salle High School. The connection appears in the network list. If it does not appear, visit the Help Desk.
+    - Click it and connect to your network if it doesn't connect.
