Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client (VPN)

If you need to access resources that are only available on the UNT Network, you'll need to use Cisco VPN. To enable VPN, you may need to install a VPN client.

UNT VPN connections will last a maximum of 24 hours before they will need to be reconnected (this is for security purposes).
