VPN Upgrades

May 1, 2023

IT Solutions recently completed upgrades to our VPN.  Staff will be upgraded to the new client when they next connect to VPN.  The new client is very similar in function to the previous client, with the following changes:

  1. When connecting to VPN, a tab in your default browser will open to complete the MFA process.  This was previously handled within the VPN client’s internal browser.  This tab can be closed once authentication is complete.
  2. A tab in your default browser may also be opened on disconnect.  This can be closed when disconnect is completed.
  3. The VPN client has been renamed to the “Cisco Secure Client”.  It was previously called the “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client”.  If searching for the app on your computer, search for “Secure”.
