Enter your NetID username and password and click the right arrow button to connect to the VPN.
Input "1" in the text box and click on the arrow to send a Duo push. Click Approve on your Duo device.
The Window should read "Connecting" and then show a "Connected" message as the VPN connects. Once the VPN is connected you can click the "Back" button. (Note that the icon for the VPN has changed)
You can now enter your NetID username and password, and the PC will validate them with the campus active directory domain and log you in. The VPN will remain connected after you have logged in.
