UA VPN Users must switch to new VPN - Download Required
UAF and Statewide VPN users are advised to download and install the new GlobalProtect VPN client on their PC, phone, or tablet as AnyConnect VPN will not work as of December 31. Download GlobalProtect VPN Installer 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 UA by using the existing firewall solution and avoiding the cost of the previous solution.
For step-by-step configuration instructions and detailed service information related to the updated VPN, including phone and tablet VPN configuration information, visit OIT’s VPN service information.
