What is Twingate?
Twingate is being pilot tested by a small group of users in Technology Services, and permanent implementation depends on further analysis and available funding. Permanent systems or processes should not be built around this product.
Twingate is a modern alternative to traditional VPNs that allows you to securely access work resources from anywhere. It's designed to be easy to use - you simply install an app, log in with your work credentials, and then you can access the TAMU files and applications you need. Twingate aims to improve security while making remote work smoother for employees.
Is Twingate a VPN?
Twingate differs from a traditional VPN in three key ways:
-
It's usually easier to use - you just log in to an app instead of connecting to a VPN.
-
It's more secure because it only gives you access to specific resources you need, rather than the entire network.
-
It generally performs better, so you might notice faster connections to work resources.
Do I need to uninstall Cisco to use Twingate?
No, you only need to close the Cisco VPN client while using Twingate.
