How to use Cisco Secure Client

There is an app called Cisco Secure Client that when activated, makes your device think it is within Yale’s network allowing you to access systems and resources the general public cannot.

The Cisco VPN AnyConnect app for Windows and Mac can be downloaded from access.yale.edu

Once installed, run the Cisco Secure Client app.

In this field, type in access.yale.edu (you should only need to do this once as the setting should stick)

You will be asked to verify your Yale credentials and to authenticate with Duo, so be sure you have your Duo device handy.

If you connect correctly, your browser will open a new tab showing a green check and stating that you have connected to the Yale VPN.

Note: When you are done working with Yale resources, you should disconnect and quit out of the Cisco VPN AnyConnect app.
