HallPass Instructions for Setting up VPN and Connecting to

Your Campus PC Using the iPhone/iPad

The following explains how to setup and connect to a VPN, install and use the Microsoft RDP app on your

mobile device, and connect to your office PC using an iPhone/iPad running iOS 7 or later. For the best results,

update your device to the latest iOS by using the Settings app on the device.

Note: If you are accessing your KSU Windows computer from off-campus, you must first turn on the VPN in

the iPad Settings. The VPN mode must be turned off for on-campus remote access to your computer.

Note: You must leave your office PC powered ON in order to remote to it. You can log out of your machine

and leave it at the login prompt.
