International Access to U-M IT Resources

Cloud-based U-M resources may not be available in certain international locations. In some cases, you may be able to access a particular U-M resource using Virtual Sites; in other cases, access may be blocked completely. Check the information on country restrictions provided by each service provider before you travel.

Duo

In order to comply with U.S. regulations, Duo blocks authentications from users whose IP address originates in a country or region subject to economic and trade sanctions enforced by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. Refer to additional detail from Duo.

Google

Google restricts access to some of its business services in certain countries or regions. See Countries or regions where Google Workspace is available. The Google product traffic report shows information about recent and ongoing disruptions of traffic to Google products.

Google Search may be blocked or redirected in some countries. Google search (https://www.google.com) may redirect you based on your device's IP address. For example, if you are in Germany and using a German network address, Google will automatically direct you to German search results. Refer to See results for a different country to change those settings. If you turn on the U-M VPN, your device will use a U-M IP address and therefore return search results as if you were at U-M.
