Access to TUGnet using Wireless LAN

Within several areas of TU Graz it is possible to connect to TUGnet using WLAN. If you are nearby a WLAN-AP operated by ZID your device (notebook computer, laptop, ...) will automatically recognize „tug“ and „eduroam“ in most cases.
For „eduroam“ the eduroam guidelines will apply, to „tug“ you can connect without the need of an account (username and password) but because of this open access the „wireless network“ at TU Graz will be treated for security reasons like an external network - so it is not possible to access pages outside TUGnet if you are not authenticated. For full access you have to use VPN or 802.1x with an authorized account (student, employee, guest or eduroam)

In contrast to most company networks we don't try to hide our WLAN but secure the border between WLAN and the rest of TUGnet (and Internet).


Access to Intranet

For access to pages within TUGnet your device has only be connected to the WLAN of TU Graz (SSID „tug“).

Internet Access to Restricted Services Using a "Captive Portal"

If you hold an employee, student or guest account of TU Graz you have to connect with WLAN „tug“ and open your web browser. You will see a window asking for your TUGRAZonline credentials. After your successful authentication you can use the following services:

  • SSH
  • HTTP(S)
  • IMAP(S)
  • POP(S)
  • SSMTP (Port 465)
  • mail message submission (Port 587)
  • IPsec-VPN (UDP 500, 4500, TCP 10000, ESP and AH)

This means you can check your emails, browse the web and you can securely connect to SSH servers although it is recommended by ZID to use VPN.
