Editing Accessing the Off-Campus VPN (section)

= Using OpenConnect =

== Installing ==
NOTE: OpenConnect v2.x is no longer free to use, nor open source! If the official client doesn't work, we strongly recommend installing v1.x instead.

Install <code>GlobalProtect-openconnect</code> using the following commands in a terminal:

'''Ubuntu/Debian/Debian-based Linux Distros''': follow the instructions in this section: https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect#debian-package

'''Arch Linux''':<code>sudo pacman -S yay && yay -S globalprotect-openconnect</code> (This will install yay, which installs packages from the AUR, and GlobalProtect-openconnect, which allows you to use 2-factor authentication to connect to the VPN.)

== Opening ==
Then, if you use KDE, press the Windows (aka. Super) key to go to your Application Launcher (in KDE) and search for "GlobalProtect".

Or, if you use Ubuntu (which uses GNOME), do something similar by either pressing the Windows (aka. Super) key or clicking on the Ubuntu logo at the top-left (looks like a circle with three dots).

If you don't use Ubuntu but you use GNOME, either press Windows (aka. Super) or click the foot icon at the top-left.

In KDE, it will look something like this:

Alternatively, in a terminal, type in <code>gpclient</code> and press ENTER.

== Connecting ==
Type in <code>gp.rose-hulman.edu</code> in the text box and click "Connect" below the text box.

A window should pop up with the Rose-Hulman login screen. Go through the Microsoft login and input your 2-factor authentication token like usual.

Another window will pop up. You can ignore that window. The VPN app should say "Connected". And you're done!

As Apple would say, it has never been this easy to connect to the VPN. It's just like this on Windows.

You can disconnect by clicking "Disconnect".
