Connecting to VPN in Windows

Note: 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.

Installation Instructions

Log in to vpn.mtu.edu with your Michigan Tech Account Name credentials using any web browser.
Click Standalone VPN Client.
Run the installer from the downloaded locationand click Install to begin the installation.
After the installer is done running, click Finish.
Installation is complete and the BIG-IP EDGE Client will now appear in Start Menu > All Programs.

Usage Instructions

Select Start Menu > All Programs > BIG-IP Edge Client.
When prompted, log in using your Michigan Tech username and password.
Please Select Duo dual authentication method.
Once connected, the Main Console will minimize to your System Tray. You are now connected to the VPN and have access to all the associated services.
To restore the console select the red F5 icon in your System Tray and choose Main Console.
Chose Disconnect if you'd like to close the VPN connection.
