AI2 has two VPN options available: PriTunl and TunnelBlick |
...
. PriTunl is the preferred option, only use TunnelBlick if something prevents you from using PriTunl. |
MacOS/Windows:
Connect via the PriTunl Client
...
| Note |
|---|
The Profile URI Link on the login page only lasts a few minutes, so unless you're really fast, you'll have to log in a second time. The instructions will guide you through that. |
Go to pritunl.allenai.org
Select Sign in with Google
Select your @allenai.org GSuite account
Select Download Client, follow the installation instructions
Close the pritunl.allenai.org browser tab (see note above as to why)
Go back to pritunl.allenai.org and log in again
Open the Pritunl application
Copy the Profile URI Link
Start the PriTunl client (if it hasn't already been started)
Select Import Profile URI
Paste the URI and press Import
You can use the hamburger “hamburger” menu in the top right corner of each profile to connect to and disconnect from the VPN.

You will now see two three AI2 VPNs in the Pritunl client: pritunl.allenai.org - This profile is intended for computers running MacOS. It will only route traffic destined for the corporate network through the VPN. All other traffic will continue to route through your local network. pritunl.allenai.org-alltraffic - This profile is intended for computer running MacOS. This will route all traffic through the VPN. Some project team members (formerly VPT) may need this to connect to cloud resources. Use this only if you require it. pritunl.allenai.org-windows - This profile is specifically configured to be used on Windows computers. It will only route traffic destined for the corporate network through the VPN. All other traffic will continue to route through your local network. |
Additional Windows Step:
| Note |
|---|
If you are using a Windows laptop, you must choose the pritunl.allenai.org-windows profile and follow this additional Windows step. This sets the correct DNS settings to check in with the Active Directory server and keep your account active. After you have connected to the pritunl.allenai.org-windows VPN profile, you will need to click the three line “hamburger” and click “Autostart Off” then select “On.” This will set your VPN to an always on “system” profile and allow the laptop to check in to sync your account information and keep your account active. |
MacOS (Alternate Setup)
Connect via Tunnelblick (MacOS Only)
...
Tunnelblick/OpenVPN will guide you through the rest of the installation. If you have issues installing the client or messages appear when connecting, see the Troubleshooting section below.
