Installing and Configuring
Installing GlobalProtect
-
Navigate to the App Store on your iOS Device. Search for GlobalProtect. You will install the one shown below; an image of a globe with a check box.

-
Your device will probably ask to confirm the installation, either by Face ID, Passcode, or Password. GlobalProtect should now begin installing.

Configuring GlobalProtect
-
Now that it is installed, open the GlobalProtect app. It will prompt for a Portal Address. This may change depending on the device type.
-
For campus-managed iOS devices, enter ao-vpn.csuchico.edu
-
For personal iOS devices, enter vpn.csuchico.edu

-
A pop-up will appear asking you to Add VPN Configurations. Make sure to click "Allow", or the VPN will not work.

-
After allowing the VPN configurations, you will need to sign in using your Chico State username and password. You will also need to verify the sign-in using Duo Mobile.

Uninstalling GlobalProtect
To delete GlobalProtect from your iOS device, tap and hold on the GlobalProtect app. Click the Remove App icon and Delete App to confirm its removal.
