Info
- We use the ocserv VPN server.
- This server implements the Cisco AnyConnect protocol. You can use either the OpenConnect open source client or Cisco's AnyConnect client to connect. Both AnyConnect and OpenConnect are available on many platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Android.
- All members have the option to use the VPN. Since we have not enabled LDAP authentication just yet, you will need to set a VPN password first.

- Request VPN account from EnabrinTain or hfuller.
- This will need to be done in person, or in a way that the admin can be certain of your identity.
- Set your VPN password.
Connecting

- On most platforms, you can do "openconnect 256.makerslocal.org:876"
- Accept the invalid certificate. (Sorry, I'll install a real one soon.)
- Enter your VPN username and continue.
