Globalprotect Client Command Line

VPN provides you with secure access to University services and the Internet when you are off-campus. Northwestern is transitioning to a new VPN platform called GlobalProtect. GlobalProtect replaces three existing VPN clients: built-in VPN clients, Cisco AnyConnect, and Pulse Secure SSL VPN. For details on the transition, see https://www.it.northwestern.edu/about/it-projects/vpn-migration-2019/overview.html. Please note that if you are a member of the Feinberg School of Medicine, you will continue to use your built-in VPN client.
