Title. I’ve been trying to complete the steps on the setup video since Thursday, but the Purdue VPN disconnects every 10 seconds. I tried to use my friend’s PC and the VPN works, but it blocks appsanywhere website for me so I’m not going anywhere with this. I emailed ECN and Itap, but I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing something similar 
Did you try webvpn.purdue.edu instead of webvpn2.purdue.edu?
Give these KB’s a try also:
Windows:

Mac:

Note, the vpn is not needed if you are on campus using Pal or wired connection.
Goodluck with this class. Even on Purdues campus the software was damn near impossible to load on personal machine. I was not once able to get NX through apps anywhere to load. You might try the “Appanywhere NX for Aras PARALLELS”. That is what I used all semester. Goodluck with this class. From what I hear they just put the whole semester into the short summer one and it had like 8 hours a week of work so goodluck this summer.
