Also beginning at 9:00 PM tomorrow evening, we will be performing maintenance on the campus firewall systems and several back-end systems, including campus DMZ and DNS servers. As this maintenance is performed, users will experience very brief interruptions (less than 5 minutes) to on- and off-campus networking services (including Banner and OpenVPN) and the Internet.
