Connecting to the Cal Poly VPN from a Linux machine
Cal Poly’s VPN uses GlobalProtect, but IT doesn’t support Linux. That sucks, because I use Linux most of the time. Instead, OpenConnect seems to work, with the following command:
openconnect --protocol=gp cpvpn.calpoly.edu --user=<user>
This may need to be run as root. Additionally, it does not fork, so you may need
to place it in a tmux
session or something like that.
I personally have a shell script that runs this command for me placed at
~/bin/calpoly-vpn.sh
so all I have to do is run
calpoly-vpn.sh
