3.) Open "Ubuntu - Debian" --> Download the file ending with ".deb"

/home/b/alrutz/Documents/3.png

4.) Now open the Command Line:

  • Installing the needed libraries: 

    sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools

  • Entering the directory where the installer was saved (In this example the installer was saved in /Downloads, make sure to check where you downloaded the installer): 

    cd ~/Downloads

  • Installing the Client (here you will need the exact name of the installer file): 

    sudo dpgk -i name-of-the-installer.deb

5.) The client should now be installed --> start it and set up the VPN-Connection by following these steps:

  • Press the Plus-Sign to add a Connection

  • Insert the following information --> then press "Add":

/home/b/alrutz/Documents/4.png

6.) The connection should now be visible under "Connections" --> simply press "Connect" to activate the VPN

Troubleshooting:

If you get this Error: Chromium embedded browser (cef) is not installed on this machine when trying to connect, then try the following steps:

  • Open the command line and enter the /pulsesecure/bin directory by executing : 

    cd /opt/pulsesecure/bin

  • Execute this command to install the missing program: 

    ./setup_cef.sh install

  • Execute this command to verify the installation: 

    ./setup_cef.sh check_installed
  • Now retry connecting, it should work.

Verifying if the VPN is active:

Open this page IP-check Before connecting to the VPN --> make a note of the IP shown.

Now connect to the VPN and refresh the page --> if the IP shown is different from the one you made a note of, it most likely means that the VPN is active.
