Installing the VPN Client
Click on the Windows Start Button (this will display the Windows Start Menu). Click on All Apps and choose the Cisco Folder. Proceed with selecting the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. When the window appears, select Disconnect. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client provides this through a mobility centric cross-platform application. It provides a VPN and encrypted web connection for any device. All of this is sent into a single observable private network.
- Download the AnyConnect VPN client for Windows. Note: If you're using Microsoft Edge, the program will download as a 'sys_attachment.do' file. You will need to rename the file to 'sys_attachment.msi'
- If you have the Windows Surface Pro X tablet with an ARM-based processor, you should download the AnyConnect VPN client for ARM64.
- Click Run on the Open File – Security Warning dialog box.
- Click Next in the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Setup dialog box, then follow the steps to complete the installation. NOTE: We recommend you un-check everything (Web Security, Umbrella, etc) except for the VPN and the Diagnostic and Reporting Tool (DART). This will give you a minimal install. The other features are not supported so there's no need to install them.
Starting the VPN Client
- Go to Start->Programs->Cisco->Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to launch the program.
- Enter vpn.uci.edu in the Ready toConnect to field, then press the Connect button.
