VPN Access
WireGuard
Install WireGuard client by downloading the appropriate installer from the following site: https://www.wireguard.com/install/
Or directly download the installer for Windows here: https://download.wireguard.com/windows-client/wireguard-installer.exe
Someone in IT can then provide you with the appropriate configuration file to import into WireGuard to set up your VPN connection.
One thing to note with WireGuard is that when the VPN tunnel shows active, this only means the client is actively trying to maintain a VPN connection to our office. It does not mean the connection is working. The only way to tell if the connection is actively working is by opening the WireGuard client and looking under the Peer section for the Last Handshake. If this timer resets every few minutes, then your VPN connection should be working. If the time exceeds 2-3 minutes, then the VPN connection has failed and could mean you're not on a public internet connection or some other error has occurred. You can deactivate and re-activate your connection if you want, or wait to see if it eventually re-establishes a connection on its own.
