Why use VPN Service ?
1. You need secure access to the Institute IT systems and services from off-institute.
2. You need to access resources that only allows BIMSA IP address to access.
3. You need access confidential data stored in BIMSA Network under an encrypted path.
Key Benefits
1. Through the VPN connection, your data being sent across the Internet to BIMSA Network is encrypted, including sensitive personal data and password.
2. When you are using a VPN connection, you will be assigned with a BIMSA IP address instead of the one at home or while traveling. This allows you to access restricted resources on BIMSA Network that are unavailable from off-institute IP address ( e.g. departmental servers and secure webpages ).
3. Use the VPN client software QIANXIN VPN to secure wireless communications between BIMSA Network and your devices when connecting to the Internet through pubic Wi-Fi networks (in Café or Airport).
Does all your traffic go through the VPN connection ?
When you are using VPN, only the institute traffic is send through the VPN connection that includes department servers, webpages and applications connected to BIMSA Network. All non-institute traffic is send through user’s Internet Service Providers directly. This keeps your non-institute Internet activity private and conserves bandwidth on the Institute Network.
Requirements
You need to install VPN client called QIANXIN VPN on your device to allow you to use our VPN Service and establish the secure connection to protect the data passed between your devices and the Institute Network.
