  • If you are using any variation of the Split_Tunnel profile, your IP address will be different on University websites and non-university websites
  • If you are using any variation of the Tunnel_All profile, your IP address will be the same on all websites that you access. It will be a University IP address.
  • If you are using a private VPN, you will also have a different IP address.
