-====== VPN Installation and Setup from Home Office ====== Currently, usage is only possible under Windows. Implementation for MacOS is being worked on. ===== What is VPN? ===== A VPN (Virtual Private Network) establishes an encrypted connection between your device and the university. It acts as a secure tunnel that protects your data. While the VPN connection to the university network exists, you can also access all data and systems of the university, just as if you were on site. This enables you to access internal resources and network drives unrestricted while working from home.
+====== Installation and setup of VPN from the home office ======
-===== Setup ===== ==== Preparation and Requirements ====
+__**Currently, use is only possible under Windows. We are working on an implementation for MacOS.**__
+===== What is VPN? =====
+A VPN (Virtual Private Network) establishes an encrypted connection between your device and the university. It acts as a secure tunnel that protects your data. While the VPN connection to the university network is established, you can also access all university data and systems as if you were on site. This gives you unrestricted access to internal resources and network drives while you are working from home.
+==== Advantage of using VPN ====
+By using a VPN connection, the university device is directly connected to the university network. Access via Portal Cloud or VMWare Horizon is therefore not required to access internal resources.
+===== Institution =====
+==== Preparation and requirements ====
+  * A university device
+  * Your personally assigned and activated YubiKey
+  * Windows 11
+      * Support for MacOS devices is being worked on
+  * The initial setup must take place in the university's internal network
