Cisco Anyconnect Chrome



Chromebooks run on Chrome OS, which is based on the Linux kernel using the Google Chrome web browser as the basis for its user interface. As such, the OS primarily supports web applications and has a very limited subset of system applications. The built-in VPN connection is one such system application with limited ability, and therefore is NOT recommended for use when attempting to connect to the ISU VPN. Instead, we recommend that you download and configure the Cisco AnyConnect web application via the Chrome Store. The following KB article provides instruction on how to download the application, configure the application, and connect to the ISU VPN.
