A description of which TRIUMF computing resources require the VPN is available here.
How can I connect to my MacOS Desktop at TRIUMF
In many cases you may not need to use the TRIUMF VPN to connect to your TRIUMF MacOS Desktop from home. Use the MacOS built-in application "Screen Sharing". You will need to allow "Sharing" in the System Preferences on your Mac Desktop at TRIUMF first. When you launch the Screen Sharing client from your MacOS at home, you will need to provide the hostname or IP Address of your TRIUMF MacOS Desktop
