VPN service of the URZ

For secure connections over "insecure" networks, the URZ provides the Virtual Private Network (VPN) service.
This service is recommended for the following user groups (quote from URZ website):
  • Users who want to access to the TU Chemnitz campus network securely way with their own computers via external internet providers.
  • Users who want to access the campus network of Chemnitz University of Technology securely from a connection at another university or any other internet access (e.g. on business trips, congresses etc.)
  • Users who want to access the campus network of Chemnitz University of Technology securely from their computer via data outlets in public rooms of Chemnitz University of Technology.
  • Users who want to securely access the campus network of the TU Chemnitz with their computer from the WLAN(WiFi) of the TU Chemnitz.
    Tip: The recommended WLAN access is the encrypted access via eduroam, for which no VPN is necessary.
The prerequisite is that a so-called VPN client is installed on your computer. The instructions for installing and using the Cisco VPN client can be found at https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/urz/network/access/vpn.html#client.
