Off Campus Access (VPN)
Instructions for Windows PC
To connect to the VPN you will be required to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). For details on how to enrol your mobile device with Duo Mobile app, please visit lboro.ac.uk/mfa.
Install Cisco AnyConnect
How to install Cisco AnyConnect on the off campus Windows computer:
Click here to access and download the anyconnect-win.msi file from the Sharepoint site.
The installer will launch. Click Next accepting the licence agreement at the appropriate step.
Click Next through the series of installer steps. At the final step a confirmation box will appear, click on Finish.
First time set "Enable local LAN access (if configured)"
If this is the first time you have used the client then please click on small cog in the lower left of the window. In the window which appears select the Preferences tab and tick Enable local LAN access (if configured) and then close the window.
The first time you run the client you will also need to enter vpn.lboro.ac.uk into the box next to the Connect button. The program will remember this for subsequent connections, so this need only be done once.
Disconnecting from the VPN
To disconnect click on the icon in the system tray and then click on the Disconnect button. Once the client has disconnected the window will automatically minimise itself again when you switch to another application.
If you wish to quit the client completely then right click on the icon in the system tray and choose Quit from the menu.
