usc-vpn-linux-setup - One command setup for running USC VPN on linux systems

Because nobody cared to put a client for linux here. Update: This script no longer works. From a first pass reading it seems DUO push is not enabled for OpenVPN upstream. However, AnyConnect now has a supported client for linux that works (See next section).

Recent DUO change

This script no longer works after the recent DUO change. A quick fix is to use AnyConnect from Cisco:

1. Go to https://vpn.usc.edu/+CSCOE+/portal.html
2. Download linux client from the 'AnyConnect' tab
3. Run AnyConnect with vpn.usc.edu

Installing dependencies

sudo apt-get install openconnect lib32ncurses5 lib32tinfo5 lib32z1 libc6-i386\
  libpkcs11-helper1 openvpn vpnc-scripts

start_vpn.sh

The only thing you will need to edit ideally is VPNUSER:

VPNUSER=<your-username-here>
VPNGRP=1-Wireless

# =============================================================================
# you shouldn't have to change anything below here
VPNURL=https://vpn.usc.edu
VPNSCRIPT=/usr/share/vpnc-scripts/vpnc-script

sudo openvpn --mktun --dev tun1 && \
sudo ifconfig tun1 up && \
sudo /usr/sbin/openconnect -s $VPNSCRIPT $VPNURL --user=$VPNUSER --authgroup=$VPNGRP --interface=tun1
sudo ifconfig tun1 down

VPNGRP can be :

• 1-Wireless
• 2-Home
• 3-OffCampusOther
• 4-UniversityHospitals
• 5-DohenyEyeInstitute
• 6-LAC-USC
• 7-KUSC
