VPN for stand-alone Mac computer

KTH VPN only works for active (registered) employees and students.
You can read more about the service here:

Configure the VPN client
You need to download and configure the VPN client in order to use VPN.
- Download the VPN client from the following KTH web page: www.lan.kth.se/vpn/vpn.html
- Configure the client by starting it (Cisco Secure Client) and connect to vpn.lan.kth.se
- Get your network secret from login.sys.kth.se/peap.html and save in your password manager. The VPN client doesn't save your password, so you will have to enter it when you connect to VPN, so using a password manager or the Keychain Access app makes it easier for you.
- When you connect to the service you use your KTH.SE user name (xxxx@kth.se) and the network secret above. When you are connected you will se status and statistics for the service in the menu bar.
