| 19 | +## VPN |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +In order to request a new HPC account or renew an expired one, you need to be connected to the NYU VPN if you are working remotely. Please see [instructions on how to install and use the NYU VPN](https://www.nyu.edu/life/information-technology/infrastructure/network-services/vpn.html). Linux clients are not officially supported, however we were able to successfully use openVPN client. Here are installation and connection instructions for an apt-based linux distribution: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Install openconnect with : |
| 24 | +```sh |
| 25 | +apt-get install openconnect |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Then connect to NYU VPN as : |
| 29 | +```sh |
| 30 | +sudo openconnect -b vpn.nyu.edu |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | +When prompted follow the instructions and provide your nnetID, password, and second password ( 'push' or 'sms' ). |
