Connecting to VPN in Windows

Two Step Authentication is required. Please visit the Two Step Login page for more information.

We recommend using the VPN client as many browsers (such as Chrome, and soon FireFox) are no longer allowing programs like the VPN or Adobe PDF to run within the browser itself. Installation of the new VPN client will remove the old client if you had it installed.
