The purpose of this document is to help you install and set up the VPN application called AnyConnect.  You will also need to have enrolled into Microsoft Multi-Factor Authenticator (MFA). The instructions for that are here. The two applications work together to allow you to connect to the CWF  CWF network through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) while at home or traveling. 

...

AnyConnect is the application used to connect to the VPN. It will require you to have enrolled into Microsoft MFA (above) before it will connect you.  AnyConnect should have been already installed on CWF laptops. Use the Windows Start button and search for Cisco AnyConnect to ensure it is already installed.  If it is, you only need to follow the Microsoft MFA enroll instructions, here, then open AnyConnect and connect to secure.cwf.org on its connection screen.
