VPN

Note: As of June 2024, the District has migrated from our old FortiClient VPN to our new OpenVPN solution!

The District offers VPN (Virtual Private Network) services for approved staff members. The VPN allows for secure access to District network resources from outside the District network, such as home or mobile Internet connections. 

Prerequisites

• A district account with VPN permissions. To request VPN permissions, please ask your administrator to create a help desk ticket that includes your name and the system(s) you would like access to.

• You should be connected to a network that allows access to the SPS network, specifically, to openvpnas.springfield.k12.or.us on ports 443 and 943. On most networks, this should just work. Some networks with strict filtering may block this connection.
