Access to ECE resources such as workstations, printers, and network shares is limited to ECE subnets, the ECE VPN, and the "ubcprivate" wifi network. All other access is blocked by the ECE firewall.

For access to the ECE VPN and ubcprivate, contact it@ece.ubc.ca. In your request, please specify your CWL username and your affiliation with ECE.

Please note that ECE VPN login now requires Multi Factor Authentication ("MFA").

Connecting to the VPN

A Cisco AnyConnect VPN client can be downloaded from https://ubc.onthehub.com/.

The client should connect to the server myvpn.ubc.ca.

To log onto the ECE VPN, append .ece to your CWL login, and the method used for Multi-factor authentication. For example, if your CWL login is spock and you use the Duo app for MFA, log on as spock.ece@app. Password is your CWL password.

Connecting to the ubcprivate WiFi network

If you have been granted access to ubcprivate, append .ece to your CWL login. For example, if your CWL login is spock, log on as spock.ece.

Connecting to ECE computing resources

When connecting to an ECE computing resource from within the VPN or ubcprivate use its fully qualified domain name, i.e. computer.ece.ubc.ca, rather than computer.
