Quick instruction guide
Open a web browser and go to https://vpn.slac.stanford.edu/ , logon with your SLAC's windows credentials. Username must NOT be prefixed with "SLAC\". Then click on "Start AnyConnect". The VPN client will be installed/upgraded if necessary before connecting you (this is working on Windows, linux and MAC OS).
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, 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/ .

Security
The SLAC VPN connects you directly to the SLAC network. All of your network traffic is sent across an encrypted link, including Internet traffic. You should adhere to the same SLAC computing policies that you do when using computers on-site. Remember to disconnect from the VPN before leaving any computer unattended.
