VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK
Note: Currently, the use of eduVPN is still optional. You can continue to use OpenVPN (in parallel). However, we recommend switching over soon, as OpenVPN will be shut down later this year.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) offers the possibility to connect to the network of the University of Siegen from a foreign network (e.g. from home) in a tap-proof and tamper-proof manner.
Access is via the free, open-source-based software solution eduVPN.
In brief
VPN gives you access to university content and services that are otherwise only accessible within the university, licensed databases and e-resources, including full texts from the library of the university. Access is via the free, open-source-based software solution eduVPN.
You log in using the user data of your university ZIMT account, as used for webmail or Moodle, for example.
