The HSGM-VPN is available to all members of our university and is necessary to use online services for literature search from off-campus locations as well. The library is responsible for the content management.
VPN is a technology that encrypts data and, thus, enables users to send them across public networks. VPN is short for Virtual Private Network and uses a point-to-point connection. Once your computer has access to the internet, you can connect it with the university's VPN gateway. Both your computer and the VPN gateway set up a secure data transfer channel. After successful authentication, all your network traffic will be redirected through the university's gateway and you receive an IP from HGU's address pool.
