How to Steps

1. In any browser, head to https://blue-vpn.creighton.edu and log in with your NetID and BLUE Password.


2. Select Download MAC 32/64 bit GlobalProtect Agent to download the Mac version of the VPN software.


3. Run the installer when the download finishes.

4. On mac computers running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later, you will need to approve a kernel extension. This should pop up for approval during the installation process, however if not you can go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General and after unlocking can approve it there as well. If this step is missed the VPN client won’t connect.

5. Enter your NetID in the Username field, your BLUE Password in the Password field, and
blue-vpn.creighton.edu in the Portal field. You can leave the Remember Me box checked if you don't want to enter your password every time you connect to VPN.

6. Once you click Apply, the VPN Client will connect. You can now close the window and stay connected to VPN or select File>Disconnect to end your VPN session.
