Virtual Private Network (VPN): How to Connect to vpn.uwrf.edu

What is new? The campus virtual private network (VPN) has been upgraded to incorporate multi-factor authentication to better protect information.

UWRF's VPN service is not available for personally-owned devices. This service works only with university-owned devices.
Also, the initial connection to VPN must be done on campus.

If you have any trouble connecting to the VPN or are unable to reach a specific service, please contact DoTS.

Connecting to the UWRF VPN

  1. Open the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client application
    • If you do not currently have the app installed, visit Self-Service (MAC) or Software Center (PC) to install the application
  2. In the box to the left of Connect, if you see anything but vpn.uwrf.edu or UWRF VPN-STAFF, highlight the existing text and type vpn.uwrf.edu (vpn.uwrf.edu might not be present in the drop-down; you may need to manually type it.)
