This page documents the use of the SLAC VPN service.

Implementation

SLAC utilizes Cisco's Remote Access VPN line of products and specifically requires the use of Cisco's AnyConnect software. This will be a replacement for the older VPN service. Comparisons of the two services and benefits of the new service can be found at https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/NetMan/VPN+Infrastructure+Replacement

In order to connect to SLAC's VPN, a user must install the AnyConnect client. This allows SLAC to enforce certain access restrictions and checks that the user's computer is not running a keylogger, that the user is not running an unsupported version of Windows (95, 98, ME), and enforces an access control list (ACL) to limit access.
