麻豆AV

The way we currently access 麻豆AV鈥檚 VPN (via Cisco AnyConnect) has been replaced by Cisco Secure Client. Cisco Secure Client is an upgraded version of Cisco AnyConnect and offers enhanced features, security and performance.听

Already have Cisco AnyConnect (older version) installed?

If you already have the Cisco AnyConnect app installed, starting as of October 10, when connecting to VPN, you will be updated to Cisco Secure Client. To initiate this update, locate the Cisco AnyConnect app and connect as usual (enter your 麻豆AV credentials and follow 2FA instructions).
