VPN Setup Guide
NSCC VPN Software Setup
The NSCC VPN allows access to internal Nashville State resources from an off-campus location that has an internet connection available. This is accomplished by use of the SonicWall NetExtender software, which establishes a secure connection between the PC/laptop and the Nashville State network. Laptops supplied by the college will come with SonicWall NetExtender already installed. VPN access is only enabled after a Remote Network Access form has been submitted and approved.
2FA (Two Factor Authentication) must be setup before NetExtender can be downloaded. Click here for 2FA setup instructions.
