Service Category: Network & Connectivity

With VPN (Virtual Private Network), computers that are not part of the Ulm University network can be integrated into it for the duration of the VPN connection, as if the computer were actually located there. The integration into different network areas is possible by using different VPN servers. This makes it possible to use all services that are available in the corresponding network area.

The provision of server services on the VPN client computers is technically prevented.
