Using Virtual Private Network (VPN), employees and doctoral students can log in to the university network from home, abroad, or other university. When connected to a VPN the computer will work as if connected directly to the university network.

How does VPN work?

The client asks the server to create a VPN tunnel. When the server verifies the username and password, both the client and the server create new network interfaces that are connected by a tunnel that is encrypted and through which all data passes.
Other servers along the way see the encrypted communication between the client and the server and can not read it. The destination server then decrypts the data and forwards it to the Internet. From the outside it looks like the client has a computer connected directly to the server.
