Virtual Private Networking (VPN) software creates a secure, encrypted connection between your off-campus computing device (laptop, phone, or tablet) and the campus network. Members of UConn can use the AnyConnect VPN if they are off-campus and need secure access to university-hosted resources.

Cisco AnyConnect

Cisco AnyConnect provides split-tunnel access to the UConn network. This is the recommended method of connecting to the VPN.

We provide official support for:

  • Windows 10 & 11 - x64

  • Mac OS X 11 and later

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 - x64

  • iPhone/iPad iOS 15

The AnyConnect VPN can be used on other platforms, but UConn ITS does not provide technical support for these platforms in the event that your VPN connection is not working:

  • Android 11

  • Windows ARM & 32-bit (x86)

  • 32 & 64-Bit Linux via OpenConnect

  • Mac OS X versions 10.14 and older

AnyConnect is an industry leading and widely use VPN service that has replaced our legacy Pulse Secure service. It provides an improved experience for remote connectivity. Please reference our guide for getting set up with Cisco AnyConnect VPN.
