  3. At the top of the screen, click GlobalProtect Agent.
  4. Click Download Windows 32 bit GlobalProtect Agent.
  5. Open the downloaded GlobalProtect application. When prompted for a portal address, enter vpn-connect.northwestern.edu.
  6. When prompted, enter your NetID and NetID password, then confirm your identity with Duo multi-factor authentication. You will then be connected to GlobalProtect.
