CUHK VPN allows CUHK users to securely connect to the campus network from the Internet (such as from a home broadband service). Data transferred in between is encrypted.
Some CUHK websites / online resources require VPN when accessed from outside the campus network. For effective use of network resources, other non-campus-related network traffic will go through your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as if you’re not connected to the CUHK VPN (i.e. split-tunnel).
