- access a service on a restricted subnet
Eligibility

AnyConnect to Become Secure Client
Cisco is updating the name of its VPN application from AnyConnect to Secure Client. Computing Services intends to release this update in the coming weeks.
When we do, the application will update automatically the next time you connect. After the update, desktop shortcuts and other shortcuts to the application may disappear.
