3) Have an approved anti-virus software ( crowdstrike is preferred )

Verify
Connect to VPN, then open a browser and go to a Duke Site to verify.
Note that sometimes it takes a few seconds between launching the VPN and NAC verification, so if you try to immediately connect to a DHE server you may still be in a remediation network zone. Give it a few more seconds, or potentially reconnect to VPN if needed.
