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.

Connecting to the VPN

A Cisco AnyConnect VPN client can be downloaded from https://myvpn.ubc.ca.

The client should connect to the server myvpn.ubc.ca. Log onto the VPN using your CWL credentials.

If you have been granted access to the ECE VPN, append .ece to your CWL login. For example, if your CWL login is spock, log on as spock.ece. (Without the .ece suffix, you would be placed on the UBC network, but outside the ECE firewall.)

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 the fully qualified domain name, i.e. "computer.ece.ubc.ca", rather than "computer".
