Uninstall the VPN client

Windows OS

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a method of joining a private network across an existing public network by building an encrypted tunnel between the two hosts. The VPN tunnel allows you to transfer information and to access remote resources.

Macinstosh OS

You must have administrator privileges to uninstall the VPN client. If you do not have administrator privileges, contact OITConnect for assistance.

To uninstall the VPN Client for Mac OS X:

  1. Open a terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
  2. Run the following command: sudo/usr/local/bin/vpn_uninstall
  3. Enter your administrative password.
  4. You should be prompted to remove all profiles and certificates. If you answer "yes," all binaries, startup scripts, certificates, profiles, and any directories that were created during the installation process are removed. If you answer "no," all binaries and startup scripts are removed, but certificates, profiles, and the vpnclient.ini file remain.

If you require additional assistance, contact OITConnect.
