- Upon starting the client for the first time it may ask to upgrade the client. This will pull an up to date version of the client with the most recent configuration.
- Windows 64 bit Pulse Secure Client
- Start the client if it is not already running - it usually starts by default on bootup.
- If the client is already running, double click its icon from the status bar.
- and click 'Add' (+) under the connection section.
- Enter a name for your VPN connection and the server URL 'vpn.umiacs.umd.edu'

You should now be connected to the UMIACS VPN.
Checking VPN Status
- In the bottom right hand corner, in your status bar, you should see an S icon. If there's a green arrow, that means you are connected! If there is nothing, that means you are not.
- You can hover over this icon and it will show you the status of your connection.
