The system will now grey out the name and switch to DISCONNECT, which means you have securely connected to the VPN and the Friends Network.  That's it!

Any systems or access you have on campus to folders, servers or websites will work normally. After you've installed and connected the VPN once, you will only need to complete steps 5 - 7 to connect going forward.
