Effective September 26, DUO Push will be the default 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) method when accessing the Virtual Private Network (VPN).

This upgrade will streamline VPN users' access by requiring only a Username and Password during login and a DUO Push will be sent to the DUO Mobile Application on your smartphone.

Skills and Tips

Get quick access to VPN with /duop

(Published June 2023)

When you login to the Virtual Private Network (VPN), you are required to use two-factor authentication with DUO. The default login screen will show VPN: Please enter your Tufts username and password with a drop down that links to vpn.tufts.edu/duo. Then you will get the login screen with 3 fields 1) Username, 2) Password, and 3) How to authenticate and you need to type in PUSH.

If you amend the default screen to go to vpn.tufts.edu/duop, by adding the 'p' to the end the system automatically sends you a PUSH and eliminates the need to type that in every time. See screen shots below.

Nice step to quickly authenticate to the VPN!
