Texas Schools Project has replaced its VPN (Virtual Private Network) and firewall servers. This upgrade will improve usability by allowing researchers at remote access sites to connect to the TSP VPN using the same login and password they use to access other TSP servers. It also enhances security by permitting use of improved encryption, and streamlines our perimeter network architecture.
