Identified
WashU IT is investigating reports that users are unable to connect to VPN, and are receiving an error message "your service provider has restricted access to the internet". The issue should only be affecting a small number of users whose VPN settings are still pointing to vpn.wustl.edu, which is no longer a standard VPN name. Affected users should change their settings to point to danforthvpn.wustl.edu and should be able to connect to VPN going forward.

Teams are working to resolve the issue. Please call 314-933-3333 if you have any questions. We appreciate your patience as we work to restore service.
