UW-Madison expects Linux users to use [Global Protect](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/products/globalprotect) to connect to the campus network remotely.
Global Protect is really really evil.

Instead, use [openconnect](https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/openconnect).
It works!

```
sudo openconnect --protocol gp uwmadison.vpn.wisc.edu --csd-wrapper /usr/libexec/openconnect/hipreport.sh
```
