CIM VPN ( macOS up to 10.14)
Log in at our VPN portal:

Download the Cisco Anyconnect client
The address to connect to is:
my.cim.rhul.ac.uk
Username and password as your RHUL account
Workaround for MacOs After 10.14
Install brew ( brew.sh/ )
past this command in macOS terminal
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then
brew update brew install openconnect
When the installation is complete you can run this in a terminal window
sudo openconnect my.cim.rhul.ac.uk
If you want a GUI for the openconnect, it is available here
openconnect.github.io/openconnect-gui/ but since the developer has not registered with Apple the first time the software starts it immediately stops.
You have to go into Security and privacy options and confirm to open the application anyway. Then open the application again make a new profile for our VPN with the address my.cim.rhul.ac.uk and your RHUL username
