| <!--[[file:Vpn_trans.png|right|200px]]-->VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a way to connect to the UiB network even if you are not on campus. This allows you to access UiB's IT services (such as your home directory and public folders or printing via Pullprint) even if you are located somewhere other than the campus.
| | [https://hjelp.uib.no/tas/public/ssp/content/detail/service?unid=a566dafec92a4d35bba974f0733f3663 All information about VPN is now found in UiBhjelp.] |
| | |
| VPN also provides more secure data transmission both on UiB's physical data network and on the Internet.
| |
| | |
| VPN connection to UiB can be used from all computers and most mobile devices connected to the Internet.
| |
| | |

| |

| For Linux we recommend Open VPN (see below).
| |
| | |
| '''Open VPN''' is another option which may work on networks and computers where UiB VPN is not available. Open VPN is therefore recommended as a fallback solution:
| |
| * [[OpenVPN connection Windows]]
| |
| * [[OpenVPN connection Mac]]
| |
| * [[OpenVPN-oppkobling Linux]]
