Many of the University's services are, for reasons of rights, only accessible within the University premises. A classic example is access to the library.
But what can one do when one is outside the University but needs one of its services?
Can connect to VPN...
The VPN works like this:
- With the use of special programs we connect to a server at UTh which is naturally located within the premises of UTh and submit service connection requests to it.
- The VPN server submits our request e.g. in the library and collects and returns the answers to us.
To install VPN we follow the steps below:
- We go to the website it.uth.gr which is accessible from everywhere
- Hover the mouse over the word services without clicking
then the relevant menu opens where we choose VPN< /li> - Depending on the operating system of our computer, we choose at least 2 of the 3 methods shown in the red box and always one of our options is OpenVPN
and follow the installation instructions in the green box.
ATTENTION: We always put 2 methods because depending on the case one of the 2 works better...
