Installing the VPN Client
- Download the AnyConnect VPN client for macOS 10.13 - 10.14 (High Sierra to Mojave) or macOS 10.15 (Catalina).
- In your Downloads folder, double-click the file you just downloaded to open it. An icon will appear on the desktop called AnyConnect, and a separate window will open.
- Double-click on AnyConnect.mpkg to run the installer, then follow the steps to complete the installation. NOTE: We recommend you un-check everything (Web Security, Umbrella, etc) except for the VPN and the Diagnostic and Reporting Tool (DART). This will give you a minimal install. The other features are not supported so there's no need to install them.
- Starting with macOS 10.13 High Sierra: During the installation, you will be prompted to enable the AnyConnect software extension in the System Preferences -> Security & Privacy pane. The requirement to manually enable the software extension is an operating system requirement.
Starting the VPN Client
- In your Applications folder, go to the Cisco folder and double-click the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
- Enter vpn.uci.edu in the Ready to Connect to field, then press the Connect button.
- Select your desired connection profile from the Group drop-down menu:
- UCIFULL – Route all traffic through the UCI VPN.
- IMPORTANT: Use UCIFULL when accessing Library resources.
- UCI – Route only campus traffic through the UCI VPN. All other traffic goes through your normal Internet provider.
- Enter your UCInetID and password, then click OK.
- A banner window will appear. Click Accept to close that window. You are now connected!
Disconnecting the VPN Client
When you are finished using the VPN, remember to disconnect.
- Click the AnyConnect client icon located in the menu bar near the top right corner of your screen.
- Select Quit.
