On Wednesday, November 30, 2016 from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. the university VPN service will be changed. If you use the VPN website (https://vpn.uiowa.edu/) as your VPN connection method, you need to download, install, and use the Cisco AnyConnect client instead because this site is being discontinued as a VPN connection method.
The website will be discontinued because:
1. The overall practice of a web VPNs is no longer an industry best practice.
2. Support for the web VPN functionality from the vendor is very limited as a result, and not being actively updated.
3. The web VPN service has been responsible for confusion as to which option to use to access campus resources.
Visit this site to find more information on how to download, install, and connect to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.
