Northwestern IT has instructions for how to set up VPN on multiple operating systems. For most people, their instructions should work fine.

The Linux instructions are a bit lacking. Here are step-by-step instructions for Ubuntu 18.04. It should be similar for other Debian-based systems and very similar if you are using Gnome 3.

sudo apt install network-manager-openconnect-gnome

Open Settings > Networks > Add VPN

Choose the openconnect option

Edit the settings:

Gateway: `vpn-nu.vpn.northwestern.edu` Token mode: `TOTP -- manually entered`

Click connect and log in using your NU netid and password
