The most visible and immediate change on the 21st will be syncing of your lastname.# password to your off campus machine. This will route selected OSU-only management traffic directly to OSU, and will affect off campus machines.
On February 21 your ASCTech managed Windows machine will get an "Always On VPN" (AOVPN).
Linux users are strongly encouraged to use Jump, but if the VPN is required we suggest using openconnect (see related articles) instead of the Cisco client.
SFTP to Linux hosts, this can be tunnelled through Jump and is faster. Unity has an OnDemand feature which can let you check on your jobs, start jobs, and even get a full desktop. (This includes Unity, but see OnDemand below.) As of February 2, 2021, RDP will cease to function over the VPN. Guacamole has the advantage that it doesn't require a client, just a web browser. Guacamole for Windows Remote Desktop to Windows machines and ASC Standard Linux machines running xrdp. ASC's RDP Gateway is preferred for on campus and off campus connections. Remote Desktop to Windows or Linux running XRDP:. University Email System, Office 365 apps. OneDrive, Carmen/Canvas, Zoom, Code42 and other cloud services. Workday, Compass, and many other OSU services. Syncing your OSU password on legacy computers. Connecting to certain software license servers. Re-validating your Windows license if the machine has not connected to the OSU network for 180 days. Connecting to shared and private Windows drives. Requires the VPN: (These are included with Always On VPN on ASCTech managed Windows endpoints.) There are many services that do not require the VPN. The VPN adds overhead (slowness) to connections and there are finite slots available on the VPN. If not required, it is best to use an alternative to the VPN. Always On VPN replaces Cisco An圜onnect on ASCTech managed Windows machines: click here for more information. 
Note: Please, do not use the VPN if your service does not require it. The ASC Cisco An圜onnect VPN provides secure remote access to ASC resources.
