On a SLAC built windows device the vpn client is pre-installed, so you can just go on start menu -> launch Cisco Anyconnect Secure mobility client. Then ensure the connection string is "vpn.slac.stanford.edu" and click on connect. Enter your SLAC's windows credentials, enter the DUO prompt, then accept the banner and you are connected as indicated in the taskbar.
On personal computers, MACs or linux you will need to install the vpn client available at https://vpn.slac.stanford.edu/ . If you are using a mobile device the client to look for in the app store is "Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client".
