# ISU VPN on Ubuntu 24.04
The Cisco AnyConnect software is not supported on Ubuntu 24.04. Use OpenConnect through NetworkManager to connect to the Iowa State VPN.
These instructions are specific to Ubuntu 24.04 and may not work on earlier Ubuntu versions.
## Install Packages
Install OpenConnect and the NetworkManager integration:
```bash
sudo apt install network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openconnect-gnome
```
## Create the VPN Connection
Open the network manager and navigate to VPN connections. Add a VPN connection and select Cisco AnyConnect or the equivalent OpenConnect option.
## Set VPN Properties
Use the following settings:
* VPN Protocol: `Cisco AnyConnect or OpenConnect`
* Gateway: `vpn.iastate.edu`
* User Agent: `AnyConnect Linux_64 4.7.00136`
## Connect
Activate the VPN. In the authentication dialog, select `Secondary` under `GROUP`.
The OKTA login dialog should open in-window.
Enter your credentials and 2FA information, then connect. The client should indicate successful authentication.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://wiki.solids.group/computing/isu-vpn-on-ubuntu-2404.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
