Installation, FAQ etc. (german only): VPN-Zugang zum INNET
The ZID recommends 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.
Installation 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.
