CONNECTING TO UNT VPN

 

In order to run any of our lab software from home, or to connect to our shared desktops you will first need access to UNTs internal network . 
 
How to connect to the UNT network via Cisco Anyconnect:
Connection to the UNT network is accomplished by downloading the Cisco Anyconnect Mobility Client which you can find at https://vpn.unt.edu. Login with your EUID and click on Anyconnect on the left menu and then "Start Anyconnect".
 

 

 

You will be taken to a page to download the AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.  Proceed to install this on your computer.

After installation launch the application and enter the server information vpn.unt.edu, then click connect and login with your EUID. 

 

                            

UNT VPN connections will last a maximum of 24 hours before they will need to be reconnected (this is for security purposes).
