VPN - Virtual Private Network

Basic information

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to connect computers to one virtual network, even if they are physically in different networks. In our case it is a connection of remote computers to the institutional network by means of secure (encrypted) communication. When connected to a VPN (eg. home), the computer gets an IP address in the NPI network and looks to other computers/servers in the institutional network as if they were part of it.

This gives you access to:
• the resources of the NPI network
• resources of the CAS network (eg. iFIS, Verso)
• to libraries (eg. www.ulrichsweb.serialssolutions.com, www.scopus.com)

Name and password for VPN connection

The login username and password used in the eduroam network are used to log in to the NPI VPN. More on eduroam at NPI of the CAS.
