Install The GlobalProtect VPN Client
- With a web browser, visit: http://vpn.alaska.edu/
- Enter your UA credentials
- Select the most appropriate version for your operating system. For Windows, the 64bit version is the most common.
- The installation process is fairly straight forward and default settings are fine.
- If you are prompted for a "Portal Address" use: vpn.alaska.edu
- GlobalProtect is OIT's "next generation" VPN client offering for remote UAF connectivity. If you currently use VPN, it is expected to replace Cisco AnyConnect.
- Once you are operational with the new VPN, you can safely remove the Cisco AnyConnect client and use GlobalProtect as your primary VPN.
- Additional information about the GlobalProtect VPN client can be found here. Additionally, some Mac users need to make a minor configuration change, which is further detailed in the link below.
