-====== For Windows and Mac ======+===== JMU VPN ===== 
 +The JMU VPN endpoint is changing to Palo Alto GlobalProtect on January 6 2025. The existing Ivanti Secure Access client will stop working at that time.
  
-Please go here for the download and instructions on the VPN client https://www.jmu.edu/computing/internet-and-network/vpn-client.shtml+===== Windows and Mac ===== 
 +Download the VPN client from https://gp.jmu.edu/ 
 +Full documentation is available from the [[https://jamesmadisonuniversity.rightanswers.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=241205140417860|IT Knowledge Base]].
  
-====== For Linux ====== +===== Linux ===== 
-  * Please note that the below directions do not work as of 11/29/2022 due to an upgrade of the VPN server software that requires an update to openconnect, which may not be pushed into current Ubuntu releases. See bug report here: https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/472 +Install the OpenConnect client from your distribution's repository then launch it from the terminal as root. For example in Mint or Ubuntu: 
-  * A workaround would be to compile the source code from git to use a more current release. This page will be updated as more information is known.+<code> 
 +# apt install openconnect 
 +# openconnect --protocol=gp gp.jmu.edu 
 +</code>
  
-These instructions assume an Ubuntu/Linux Mint installation. Much of it should apply to any Linux, however.+Your distribution may have a package that integrates the VPN into your network management software. Search your OS repositories for openconnect related packages.
  
-It also assumes you are enrolled in Duo. Make sure you're enrolled in Duo because the VPN requires it. +===== Chrome OS ===== 
- +You can launch the VPN client for Chrome OS (i.e., Chromebooks **not** the Chrome browser) from the chrome web store at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/globalprotect/nicidmbokaedpmoegdbcebhnchpegcdc
-  * Open a terminal. +
-  * Install openconnect: <code>sudo apt-get install openconnect</code> +
-  * Connect to the vpn: <code>sudo openconnect --protocol=pulse vpn.jmu.edu</code> +
-  * You'll be asked for a Username, your e-ID goes there. +
-  * You'll be asked for a Password, the same password you use for Canvas/MyMadison goes there. +
-  * You'll be asked for a Password#2, there are several options you can choose here. You are essentially choosing how you want Duo to authenticate you. +
-    * Assuming you have Duo installed on your Android or iOS device, you'll likely want to type "push". This will send a push notification to your device for you to then act upon. +
-    * You can also type sms1, to send a list of Duo codes to your phone, which can then be entered to grant access. +
-    * If you have a Yubikey, you can use the codes it generates for Password#2 as well simply by connecting it to your computer and pressing the button. +
-  * You should now be connected to the VPN. +
- +
- +
-====== For Chrome OS ====== +
- +
-You can launch the VPN client for Chrome OS (i.e., Chromebooks **not** the Chrome browser) from the chrome web store at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pulse-secure/eiddfaedmgnpnnojolcknhpjbmmpplgd +
