-Updated as of Summer 2021 (for Debian):
+To connect to Virginia Tech's VPN service you have two options:
-# Install the "openconnect" package
+#Use the graphical [https://4help.vt.edu/sp?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0016112 Cisco Secure client] offered.  To install and use this application see their KB by clicking that link to the left.
-# Run "sudo openconnect --protocol=pulse 'https://vpn.nis.vt.edu/vttraffic'"
+#Setup OpenConnect for the CLI option.  Which is detailed below.  (There may be a way to tie this into the Network Manager GUI tool, but I haven't gone that far yet)
-#* If it complains that about 'pulse', then try: "sudo openconnect --protocol=nc 'https://vpn.nis.vt.edu/vttraffic'"
-# At the login prompt, enter your VT PID.
-# At the password prompt, enter you NETWORK PASSWORD. (This is not the same as your VT login password, but a generated with 16 characters like "ghrt-oiuy-dgfj-lkjl") To generate one or get a new one you'll have to go to your VT accounts page (found at https://vt4help.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_article&sys_id=5e76ba690f266500d3254b9ce1050eff#networkchange).
+=== OpenConnect Install ===
-# When prompted for password#2, enter the method of 2-factor authentication you want to use
-# Minimize the terminal you used for openconnect or enter ^ctrl-Z' to put the job in the background. If you now enter 'ifconfig' or 'ip add', you will see a new ip address assigned to you.
+There is a bug ( ''Cisco Anyconnect STRAP channel bindings with TLSv1.3 (#659)'' ) in the repo versions that prevents OpenConnect from connecting to VT's VPN service.  This was fixed in the HEAD branch, but that means we need to build and install it from source.
