Install GlobalProtect on Windows

This guide is based on Windows 11. Other versions of Windows may look slightly different, but will generally work in the same way. We recommend keeping Windows updated to the latest version whenever possible.

Follow the instructions carefully to avoid mistakes.

Download the GlobalProtect installation file here: GlobalProtect for Windows
When the download is complete, double-click the file to open it.
Follow the installation steps. You do not need to change any of the default settings. Click “Yes” if Windows asks whether you want to allow the app to make changes to your device. Close the installer when the installation is complete.
You should then see a small window titled “Welcome to GlobalProtect.” In the Portal Address field, enter vpnstudent.kristiania.no, and then click “Connect.”
Another window will open and ask you to log in. For username and password, enter “[username]@egms.no” and your password, and click “Sign In”.

Incorrect username or password?
Go to https://brukeradm.kristiania.no and click “Forgot username” to receive your username, or “Forgot password” to reset your password.

Then sign in to GlobalProtect again.

6. Click the small “roof” to the right of the Taskbar to see apps that are running in the background. You will see a small globe: this is GlobalProtect.

7. Click on the GlobalProtect globe to open the window to connect to and disconnect from the VPN. If the globe is in colour and has a small shield on it, you are connected to the VPN. If the globe is grey, you are disconnected.
