We are still investigating the root cause of this issue.

An individual level workaround has been identified and has been provided to all tickets already logged. If you are affected by this issue but have not yet logged a ticket please do so here by clicking on the Broad service disruptions then "I am affected by this disruption".

A service level workaround has also been identified, but as this is likely to be disruptive to users successfully using the VPN we plan to implement this at 17.05 this evening (Friday 21st April 2023).

If the situation changes or we have further updates throughout the day they will be posted here.

Thanks for your patience whilst we continue to work on this issue.

The issue does appear to be affecting only a small number of users. Colleagues in Digital & Technology Services are still actively working on a resolution/workaround.

We have had reports that a small cohort of staff users have been having issues accessing various systems and services, whilst connected to the VPN. These issues could be: Failure to access internal and external websites; Teams messages failing to send/inability to join meetings; Access to MyDesktop services

We're currently investigating the issue and will update this post with progress.
