https://intranet.neuro.polymtl.ca/computing-resources/neuropoly/README.html#vpn only covers macOS and Linux (which it mislabels PC/Linux), recommending openconnect. But openconnect doesn't run on Windows, and it misled @charleygros today into trying to run it inside WSL which does not work:

Please document the vetted way to use the VPN from Windows.

I think this means using CiscoAnyconnect? Probably? I'm not sure.

I started on it and saw that it's in fact already done by @joshuacwnewton on April 28th.

And @joshuacwnewton did a great job 🙌 with link to official polytechnic documentation I myself used with success, so I think there is nothing more to say on the topic.
