When you are finished using the VPN, remember to disconnect (failing to disconnect can result in being unable to access resources if you are on-site at the Research Institute). NOTE: The VPN will not connect if you are connected to the FBRI wired or wireless network. The requirement to manually enable the software extension is an operating system requirement.
Starting with macOS 10.13 High Sierra: During the installation, you will be prompted to enable the An圜onnect software extension in the System Preferences -> Security & Privacy pane.When you see this screen, UN-check everything with the exception of VPN: ( VPN option grayed out? Go here.).
An icon will appear on the desktop called An圜onnect, and a separate window will open. Please skip to Starting the VPN Client below. NOTE: If you have an FBRI-provided Mac, the Cisco Anyconnect Client is already installed.
