Instances running in Anvil are assigned a private IP address starting with “10.71”. You can connect to these private IP addresses from any HCC cluster worker or login node.
To directly access your instance from your home or office computer, connect to the Anvil VPN service.
If you’ve connected to NU’s VPN previously, you should already have the Cisco AnyConnect client installed.
To install the Cisco AnyConnect client, go to https://vpn.nebraska.edu and sign in with your NUID and associated password. You will be asked to authenticate with DUO for TrueYou. If you do not have DUO setup for TrueYou UNL ITS has instructions provided on how to set it up. After login, you will be directed to a page where you can download the Cisco AnyConnect client.
Otherwise, we recommend the OpenConnect VPN client.
Open the “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client” and connect to anvil-vpn.unl.edu
