Steps for Subsequent Connections to the VPN

NOTE: If you are currently connected to the University wireless (eduroam) or wired network you DO NOT need to connect to the VPN prior to connecting to any remote resources.


The VPN Connection Agent is programmed to always run. You must manually tell the program when you would like to connect to the VPN. 

 

Reconnecting to the VPN

  1. Locate the GlobalProtect Globe Icon in your system tray. Left click on the Globe Icon, confirm that the portal you are connecting to is vpn.unr.edu then click on Connect.
