Step-by-step guide (if you are connecting from a FSU-owned computer, click here to see if the VPN is already installed)
1. Open a browser to https://vpn.frostburg.edu
2. Login using your FSU user credentials without the ‘@frostburg.edu’
3. You will be directed to a page where you will be able to download the appropriate client for use with the VPN. Once you click on the appropriate link, select to run the client install.
4. Once downloaded run the install and select all of the defaults.
5. Once installed, you may close the install and browser windows.
6. You are then presented with the client login application (Global Protect).
7. In the portal field enter: vpn.frostburg.edu and then enter your user credentials in the other field without the ‘@frostburg.edu’. Click connect.
8. Once connected you may minimize the client and access resources just as though you are on campus.
For future connections, you will only need to launch the client and not the browser.
In the future, you will be prompted for any client upgrades as they become available.
When you are finished, be sure to click the disconnect button to log off the VPN and
close your client window.
