Cisco VPN for employees

Our Cisco VPN-server is vpn.hiof.no, and requires multi factor authentication.

​Cisco VPN for machines that HiØ operates

Cisco Secure Client is automatically updated so that you get the choices "Administrativt ansatt" (Administrative staff) and "Fagansatt" (Academic staff).

The first choice that appears is set according to your position.

To switch, you can use the down arrow next to the server field and switch servers manually.

Login should mostly be automatic, but you will occasionally be asked for a 2-factor.
