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. AnyConnect is an industry leading and widely used VPN service. Please reference our guide for getting set up with Cisco AnyConnect VPN.

The previous UConn VPN service, Pulse Secure, has been retired. It is recommended that you uninsce.you uninstall it from your devices.
