VPN for Mac OS X 10.3+
Mac OS X version 10.3 includes a built-in PPTP (point-to-point tunneling protocal) client, which allows you to use an existing internet connection to create a secure, encrypted path back to the Yale network (This is called a "Virtual Private Network," or VPN). The PPTP client is only available in version 10.2 and higher of MacOS X. If you have an older version of OS X, and need to use VPN, currently the only solution is to upgrade your OS (which has other benefits as well). If you think you need to upgrade your OS, please contact your local support provider for advice (Faculty in the Arts and Sciences should send email to faculty.support@yale.edu ).
