| >>> On January 3rd, 2020 the standard behavior of the VPN tunnel was changed from full tunnel to split tunnel. This change does not affect users of RUB services. For older library services, the //loginID extension// **bib** must be added to the username, e.g. **loginID.bib**. | |
| >>> | |
| >>> **Before** adding the loginID extension **bib**, please check whether VPN is required for the desired (library) service provider. Please also check whether a more up-to-date authorization (such as AAI, Shiboleth or EDU login) is offered by the (library) service provider . | |
| >>> | |
| >>> If the service provider does not offer such an option or has not (yet) activated it for the RUB, please contact the [[mailto:ub-webteam@ruhr-uni-bochum.de?subject=Shibboleth|university library]] | |

| In case your internet provider blocks the required port **udp/1194**, you can use an alternative configuration, which uses the port **tcp/443**. However, this configuration should only be used in exceptional cases (if the ISP blocks the UDP port as mentioned above), because the use of TCP can lead to a loss of performance and far fewer simultaneous connections are possible. In addition, the //loginID extensions// cannot be used with TCP. | In case your internet provider blocks the required port **udp/1194**, you can use an alternative configuration, which uses the port **tcp/443**.
