Starting Tuesday, April 11, the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client on user computers will auto-update to Cisco’s latest VPN client (now called ‘Cisco Secure Client’). This update will automatically occur upon connection to the remote.up.edu VPN gateway. The update process will take approximately 3–5 minutes.
The Cisco Secure Client will retain the same icon, look, and functionality as the AnyConnect VPN client but will also include a new feature called ‘Umbrella.’ The Umbrella module extends the same website filtering protection that we have on campus to remote users.
If you experience any issues with the VPN software update, please contact the Help Desk at help@up.edu or call extension 7000.
