Items to consider before installing the Global Protect VPN client on your computer:

• You must be enrolled in /wiki/spaces/CPKB/pages/1851850753 before setting up VPN.

• You may need administrative access or “elevated rights” to install VPN software on your device.

• The GlobalProtect VPN app uses your default browser for you to input your login information and to display messages related to connectivity. (Learn more about changing your default browser on Mac, or Windows)

• Department email accounts will not connect to the VPN. Connect using your personal Cal Poly account.

• If prompted to update to the newest version of GlobalProtect VPN client, please do so.
  

If you’re using a Cal Poly state-owned computer or a tech rental, the GlobalProtect VPN is typically preinstalled. If GlobalProtect VPN is not pre-installed please see the support page for installing software on Windows or Mac.
