If you can’t use Android apps, you can try the Cisco AnyConnect extension with your Odin account. Most MCECS services are available through the AnyConnect VPN. After adding vpn.pdx.edu, click the status area in the lower-right corner and click VPN disconnected. Select vpn.pdx.edu and login.

The Full Tunnel will send all of your network communication, e.g. going to google.com, through MCECS.
