I am attempting to connect my Raspberry Pi 3 to my work VPN. I have a VPN address, user name, and password. I have tried searching how to connect to a VPN on the pi, and every search result I get is about connecting to some other VPN hosting service.

In not super familiar with how VPN works, but on windows I just enter the credentials and i'm done. Is there a simple resource to connecting to VPN on Raspbian that someone could link for me, or if its easy enough a quick explanation?

Thank you for your help and time.

You need a VPN client running on the Raspberry Pi to be able to connect to your work VPN. One of the most common clients is the Cisco AnyConnect client. There is a version for Linux that seems to run on the Raspberry Pi called OpenConnect as explained here. They provide the steps to install and connect so worth a try. Hope it helps.
