Encrypted access to the FH Aachen network

For some services, such as electronic journals and licensed databases of the Library, access is restricted to members of the FH Aachen.

In order to identify oneself as belonging to the FH Aachen, even if one is not in a university building or in the network of the FH Aachen, VPN clients are used. They offer the possibility to establish a secure connection to the university-internal
data network independent of location. With the help of the VPN client, your computer receives an IP address of the FH Aachen and thus identifies itself as a member of the university. This way you have full access to all services even from home.

Information
VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network". With VPN, an open, unprotected network can be used to create a secure subnet in which communication is protected against access by third parties. This is achieved by tunneling the data traffic through a VPN server, where the connections must be authenticated during setup. The data is encrypted at the same time.

To establish the connection, use the AnyConnect software.

To log in to AnyConnect, you need the software and your login data.

The employees and students of the FH Aachen each have a so-called "home drive" or "home directory" on which they can store data.

The storage space of the network drive is 5GB for students.

The home directory can be accessed from private computers as soon as there is a connection to the FH network. This is possible within the UAS via Eduroam/ Esayroam and can be established outside the UAS via a VPN connection.

Please note that a Windows user profile can only be connected to a file server profile.

Instructions

• Include home directory
