# Setup McMaster VPN on Linux

## 1. Download VPN

Download the linux version of the vpn from the following website:

https://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/network/vpn/

## 2. Extract Files

Once the download is complete you should have a file called `anyconnect-linux64-4.6.04056-predeploy-k9.tar.gz`. You will need

to extract the file. Use the following command.

`tar xfv anyconnect-linux64-4.6.04056-predeploy-k9.tar.gz`

This will extract the tar file into the current directory. Once complete you should have a new folder called `anyconnect-linux64-4.6.04056`.

## 3. Install VPN

In the directory where you extracted the tar file `cd` into the vpn folder and run `sudo vpn_install.sh`.

```

cd anyconnect-linux64-4.6.04056/vpn

sudo ./vpn_install.sh

```

## 4. Connect to the VPN Server

### Using Terminal

Once the installation is complete you can run the vpn binary in the vpn folder.

```

./vpn

```

This will open the anyconnect CLI. Run the following command in the CLI to connect to the VPN server.

```

connect sslvpn.mcmaster.ca

```

Enter your credentials and you are now connected. You can disconnect by typing `disconnect` within the CLI.

### Using UI

Once the installation is complete you can run the vpnui binary in the vpn folder. 

```

./vpnui

```

Enter your credentials into the input boxes and press connect. You can disconnect by pressing the connection tab and pressing disconnect.
