The Remote Access VPN is a virtual private network that creates a safe and encrypted connection over the Internet.
Cisco AnyConnect is cross-platform. It can be used on Microsoft, Linux, and Mac operating systems. Depending on the plan used, it can connect thousands of laptops into a single encrypted connection. When autocomplete results are available use up and down arrows to review and enter to select.
You may connect to the VPN to securely access on-campus UGA systems from off-campus. You may also use it to gain access to restricted or sensitive information while on-campus.
You can download the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client from the app store appropriate for your device or from the UGA Remote Access page. If you are having difficulty installing directly from the enterprise VPN, the following stand alone installers are available:
We recommend using either Firefox or Google when downloading the AnyConnect for Windows installer. There are known issues associated with both Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge when used to download the AnyConnect version for Windows.
