To use VPN with Cornell campus networks and services, you must use the Cisco VPN software with the Cornell campus configuration (PCF) file installed.

If you're using Cisco VPN software version 4.0 or higher, you can continue to use it. However, you must add Cornell's configuration file.

1. Download the PCF file:
   • In Firefox, click http://cufs.cit.cornell.edu/vpn/CornellVPN.pcf, choose a location to save the file, and click Save File.
     
   • In Safari, click http://cufs.cit.cornell.edu/vpn/CornellVPN.pcf.
