  3. Here, select the blue 'Add to Chrome' button.
  4. Once clicked, select the 'Add app' option. Now, the app will begin the installation process. Once completed, a 'Successful Installation' notification will appear and the blue 'Add to Chrome' button will change to a green 'Rate it' button.
  5. After AnyConnect has been installed, open your Search feature again and find 'AnyConnect'.
  6. Once found, select 'Add New Connection'.
  7. When prompted, enter 'NMSU VPN' in the name box, and 'vpn.nmsu.edu' in the server address box. Do not alter the certificates settings. Save these changes and close.
