VPN Users - Switch to the new VPN Before December 31
Statewide and UAF VPN users are advised to download and install the new GlobalProtect VPN client on their PC, phone or tablet before December 31, 2020, when outgoing AnyConnect VPN will no longer be updated or supported. Download and follow prompts, entering the portal address gateway/vpn server vpn.alaska.edu.
The switch to the GlobalProtect VPN service is advantageous; it creates increased bandwidth for users, makes specialized VPN access more efficient, and reduces overall costs to the University by using the existing firewall solution and avoiding the cost of the previous solution.
