VPN

A"Virtual Private Network" (VPN) is a secured connection between two private networks via a public network (e.g. the Internet).
An existing Internet connection is required in order to connect to the university network via VPN in a second step. The traffic is sent encrypted over the network.

I like VPN, because ...

... I can also use my private notebook.
"I simply sit down with my private notebook in one of the study rooms, connect with VPN and have the same access as I do from a university PC".
... I can use the IT services of the University of Graz from off-campus.
"I don't even have to go to the university to research books, for example, but do it comfortably from home. VPN started and off I go, just as if I were sitting at a university PC."
... I'm safer abroad.
"When I am in hotels or airports, it already makes me feel better when I start VPN before I access my university data. It's just safer."
