What is Cisco Secure (previously AnyConnect) VPN for?

AnyConnect VPN can only be accessed OFF campus and on Brunel Managed devices. BYOD devices are not permitted to use VPN 

A VPN or Virtual Private Network connects you to a network other than the one you're currently connected to.

AnyConnect VPN is used to access the Brunel network from off-campus for access to certain internal Brunel network resources such as network drives and internal Brunel applications.

You do not need to use VPN to:

  • access email
  • access CHIME
  • access eVision
  • print on a home printer

AnyConnect VPN does not work on campus. If you do try to connect to AnyConnect VPN whilst you are connected to the Brunel Network or Wifi@Brunel you'll get an error message.

If you're connected to the VPN, and are experiencing call quality issues on Zoom or Microsoft Teams you could try disconnecting from the VPN to see if it improves.
