They recommend using AnyConnect.
VPNC
Settings:
Gateway: vpn1.uibk.ac.at User: c703XXX Pass: YourC703XXX-Password Group name: uibk.ac.at Group password: vpn2001-zugang
The username is your c-Number and user password is your password.
On Ubuntu system (version > 10.11) you have to restart the network-manager (or best just reboot your system) before you can connect with gnome vpnc network manager.
VPNC
Alternatively it is possible to install and configure vpnc. On Debian based systems
aptitude install network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome vpnc
should install all necessary tools.
To configure vpn, just add a new vpn connnection → choose cisco compatible vpn (vpnc)
Openconnect
There is also a vpn client called openconnect: again there is a Debian package:
aptitude install openconnect
You can then start a VPN connection with 1)
/usr/bin/openconnect vpn.uibk.ac.at
AnyConnect
visit https://vpn.uibk.ac.at in a browser.
Just logon with your credentials
username = c703xxx password = your uibk password
Start AnyConnect.
After the initial installation a new 'AnyConnect' menu entry should appear in
applications -> internet
This entry starts a new vpn session.
VPN Split-Tunneling and Session Timeout
you can append and combine following options to your c-number:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| _split | aktivate Split-Tunneling. Only traffic to the university IP's is using the VPN-Tunnel. Other traffic is direct. |
| _long | Extend the max. Session Timeout: 2 days instead of 10h |
E.g.: using cXXXXX_split_long provides a long-session split-tunnel vpn connection.
