AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a modular endpoint software product. It not only provides Virtual Private Network (VPN) access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Internet Key Exchange version2 (IKEv2) but also offers enhanced security through various built-in modules. The AnyConnect VPN server on the MX uses TLS & DTLS for tunneling and requires AnyConnect VPN client version 4.8 or higher on either Windows, macOS, Linux, or mobile devices to terminate remote access connections successfully.
Overview
Tufts VPN can be used from an iOS device (including iPhones and iPads) by downloading the AnyConnect application from the App Store. It provides Tufts users with a secure remote link to the Tufts network allowing mobile devices access to web pages that have Tufts-only access restrictions. While connected, all of your data traffic will go over the VPN which creates adherence to all Tufts Acceptable Use Policies.
As with the desktop application, logging into the Tufts VPN on the mobile app will require you to complete two-factor authentication.
