VPN: Secure Remote Access to TUGnet
Using VPN technology secures data transmissions over unsecure networks (like the Internet) by means of tunnel technology. Tunnels connect seperated networks and the device using VPN client software will become a logical part of the VPN server network (IP address from TUGnet: 129.27.*).
VPN can be used to secure WLAN access or to become part of TUGnet (for special services like FTP or software licensing).
Within VCG (network of student halls) configuration is slightly differnt and can be found at VCG.
You need to have a VPN client software installed and your device has to be able to connect to VPN concentrator at TU Graz (129.27.200.1) at ports 500, 4500 and 10000 (UDP, TCP or IPsec).
Where Do I Get the VPN client software?
Cisco's VPN client software for Mac OS, Windows and Linux can be downloaded from FTP server of TU Graz. If your computer is not connected to TUGnet you can download it using our SSH gateway.
Apple's iPhone (and iPod) have compatible client software preinstalled. Alternative client software is available for a lot of devices.
