Do I have to be on the NU network to access the cluster?

Can I access the cluster if I’m off campus?

You can access the login nodes from anywhere. Then you can submit jobs on the compute nodes. So for most tasks, you do not need to be on NU Network.

However, if you are outside campus and wish to access jupyter notebook, you must be connected to NU network via VPN. Here is the VPN access request - https://vpn.northeastern.edu/global-protect/login.esp

Once you connect to the VPN, you shall be able to access the jupyter notebook in your browser
