These instructions show you how to install the software that will allow you to connect to the EHS school network from anywhere off campus. You can be using a wired or wireless connection and on either Windows or a Mac OS X machine.
When using VPN software such as this, your computer will remain connected to the network you were already using (such as home wireless), but you will also be able to access internal EHS resources such as the F and G drives or remote computers as if you were physically on the school network.
Follow the steps below to get connected. Each time you log out or reboot you will have to sign back in but you only have to install the software once.

Adblock Plus is one of the most popular web browser extensions with over 50 million users and it is now available for all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Android, Opera, and Internet Explorer). Adblock Plus provides several benefits to web users by blocking ads of all types on all web pages you visit. You are by no means required to download or use it but you may find that it improves your browsing experience.
While ads are primarily a nuisance and are getting louder and larger by the month, there are side effects of blocking ads when you go online:
- Faster loading of pages. Without ads to download, your web pages will download and appear on the screen faster. All those video ads that show up on top of your web content can be a thing of the past… why wait to see a web page when you can have it load right away?
- Adblock Plus can prevent software trackers from keeping a record of all the sites you visit and selling the information to third parties.
- Some malicious software on websites these days sneak their way into ads. other ads are designed to fool you into thinking you have a security problem on your computer. Adblock Plus will keep them from running. Websense keeps us safe and Adblock plus keeps you even safer.
- With Adblock plus, you don’t have to watch a thirty second ad before watching a twenty second video of a cat jumping into a bag. Instead, you just gets cats and bags.
