UAB IT is upgrading campus VPN services to new hardware. On Saturday, Aug. 17, there will be a brief 5- to 10-minute outage due to internal route and DNS changes that must occur during the maintenance window from 1 to 3 p.m.
The only change you should see after the change will be an upgrade to the AnyConnect client, which should happen automatically upon connecting.
If you would like to download the new client before the change, you can do so on the VPN web page.
