Cisco AnyConnect VPN
To access CEC computing resources such as Zeus, Oracle, and MySQL from off-campus, you need to first connect to the GMU VPN.
Installers for Windows, Mac, and Linux VPN clients can be downloaded from HERE.
If you haven't already, you will also need to setup Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Instructions HERE.
For General VPN Access
Once you have the client installed, enter vpn.gmu.edu in the box and click Connect. Sign in with your GMU (PatriotWeb) username and password and click OK. You will be prompted via the Duo app on your phone to authenticate. Once you do, the VPN client on your computer will connect.
For Students Having Issues: If you get the Duo pop-up on your phone, but when you click Yes you get Login Failed in the VPN client, change the VPN drop-down to STUDENT, and then try again.
If You Need to Remote into a GMU Computer
Instead of vpn.gmu.edu, GRAs will use vpn.gmu.edu/VS-SR and Faculty/Staff will use vpn.gmu.edu/VS-FS.
If you get an error trying to use these VPN servers, you may not have access. Email cechelp@gmu.edu for assistance and include the computer name of your device.
