Remote network access

Flinders University offers access to the University network and its resources from anywhere using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The VPN allows you to connect a device from anywhere, and make it appear as if you were connected from on campus, allowing you access to all of the internal University's IT resources and services.

To use this service, you will need to perform a once off installation of a program called the Cisco AnyConnect client on your device. This program can be automatically downloaded and installed by visiting the VPN website.

Alternatively for manual configuration of the Cisco AnyConnect client please visit the appropriate page for your platform below:
