Firewall maintenance: disruption to VPN connections from 2020-06-21 16:00 BST to 2020-06-21 18:00 BST

We are carrying out proactive maintenance work on the NDPH firewall between 16:00 and 18:00 on Sunday 21 June 2020 to determine whether there is any outstanding faulty hardware following connectivity issues experienced during last week.

All active VPN connections will be terminated shortly after 16:00. Note also that attempts by staff to reconnect during this time may also fail. We recommend no-one attempts to connect remotely via VPN during this interval.
