What is a VPN?

  • To download the Purdue VPN client, go to http://webvpn.purdue.edu and enter your Purdue Career Account. This will start the process of downloading the Cisco AnyConnect client app.
  • Open the client app, type in "webvpn.purdue.edu" and click Connect.
  • You will be prompted to enter your Purdue Career Account username and your BoilerKey password (PIN,push). Once you do you will be connected to campus with a VPN.
  • This connection will last for 7 days and 11 hours before it needs to be reconnected.
