About Remote Access

On account of network security, network connections to HKMU are protected by firewalls. Remote connections from public network (the Internet) are not allowed and will be blocked by firewalls. However, forspecial or urgent support cases, it needs to allow staff to connect to HKMU systems out of campus remotely.  ITO provides a SSL-VPN channel for staff remote access.
