What is VPN?
VPN is used to provide a secure connection to many computer resources that are safely protected back in the district office. If you are at home or anyplace else outside of school you can use VPN to send print jobs to a computer back at school, access your H Drive right on your computer, and get to protected district materials stored on the SIP, RTI, and other web sites.
Installing VPN
You can install or upgrade the VPN software yourself. There are two different scenarios below that will help you. As of April 2014 the district was using version 3.1 of the AnyConnect VPN software.
- When you are outside of a district building you can open up a browser (like Chrome) and enter the address https://vpn.d211.org to get to the VPN login screen where you can install or upgrade the software.
- If you are still at school you will need to open up a browser and enter https://10.6.1.239 in the address bar to go to the VPN page to download or upgrade the software.
As always, you can also stop by the technology center inside the school for assistance.

Watch this video to see how to run VPN on your computer for the first time. If you have never heard of VPN watch this extremely ridiculous video shown below. It is less than two minutes long, it's actually very informative and accurate, and it will probably make you laugh.
