The VPN service is intended for access to the CTU network for employees and PhD students. It allows them to use applications accessible from the CTU network from home.
Set up using Network Manager in Linux
If you are using KDE, you need to have the knetworkmanager package installed on Gnome networkmanager. In Fedora and Ubuntu, it is part of the standard installation, including the vpnc or openconnect package.
The status in other distributions may vary.
Open the Network Manager menu by clicking on its icon, select VPN connection and Set up VPN .

Connect using the vpnc command
To connect using the command in the console, we just need (with root rights) to enter:
vpnc --gateway vpn.cvut.cz --id vpn --username usermap_login --natt-mode natt
You will be asked for your VPN group password and usermap password. To check the connection, enter the ifconfig command, which should show us a virtual adapter (eg tun0) with an address in the range 147.32.27.0/24.To disconnect, enter vpnc-disconnect .
For other options, see the vpnc man pages.
