template.back.to.overview VPN connection
Important! Do not connect to eduVPN when at campus. eduVPN will not work and has no function on campus.
VPN is a technology used to establish secure encrypted connections over the Internet. At OsloMet, we use the program eduVPN to create this secure connection, so that you can work safely on networks outside OsloMet.
VPN also makes it possible to access internal OsloMet services when you are not physically present on campus. Some of these are:
- SAP-portalen and UBW
- OTRS
- Endnote
- ordnett.no
- SPSS (statistical analysis)
- PACS (radiography)
