3. Click on the Connect icon.
4. You will be asked for your username and password; the username is your FSUID and the password is the one you use with your FSUID.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Once you successfully authenticate, the window will disappear, and you will see a lock icon in the system tray. This lets you know the VPN tunnel is up and active. Any traffic sent to the FSU network will take the tunnel. You can verify your connection status by double clicking on the lock. The VPN Client window will re-appear, with a Disconnect icon replacing the Connect icon.
   
   You can also get tunnel statistics by clicking on Statistics under the Status pull-down menu.
   
6. If after you type in your password, you keep getting the User Authentication window back, this means you password is not correct. Please try again. If you certain that your password is correct, please call the User Services Help Desk.
   
   

While the connection is active, traffic destined for FSU is sent through the VPN tunnel, while all other traffic is routed normally. All applications should perform normally
