Installing OpenVPN
Before you begin:
You will need to install a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) app on your mobile device. ITS recommends Google Authenticator, as it delivers time-sensitive entries to your device quickly.
IRather, if you currently use Authy, you may continue using the Authy Authenticator.
For Android devices, click here.

Contact ITS if you need setup assistance, or need an alternative to the suggested mobile app.
Connecting your PC or iMac to OpenVPN:
