-==IMPORTANT: Breaking change on 21.06.2025==
-Due to a technical change it is necessary to update the configuration of the VPN client by Saturday, 21.06.2025 at the latest. \\ **Not affected** is the configuration for users of the Group-VPN (UV, IT.SERVICES,...).
-You can find the updated configurations in the [[anleitungen:vpn|Instructions]] section.

-=====Why do I need a VPN connection?=====
+For RUB members a VPN connection offers a secure, because encrypted data connection to the university. In addition, their computers are considered to belong to the university network, since they receive an IP address of the university through the tunnel technology used. They can therefore also use services that are restricted to computers with an IP address from the university network.
-If you do not connect to the University's services from the University network but from outside, you will be denied access to some services. These include services such as some licensed University Library services, the Service Portal for staff members or file servers.
-A possible solution is access via a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which allows you to create a tunnel to the Ruhr-Universität's network. In doing so, all your data traffic will be transferred over an encrypted connection via our VPN server. The encrypted connection protects your data from unauthorised access. During the connection you will receive an IP address from the university network.

-==IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR THE USE OF UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SERVICES==
-On 03.01.2020 the default behavior of the VPN tunnel was changed from Full Tunnel VPN to Split Tunnel VPN. For users of RUB services nothing changes.
-To use older University Library services the loginID extension ".bib" must be added - this means that a ".bib" must be added after the user name, e.g. "loginID.bib".
-Before using the loginID extension ".bib", please check if the VPN is needed at all for the desired (library) service providers, or if a more up-to-date authorization for users might be available (such an authorization usually runs under names like AAI-, Shiboleth- or EDU-Login).
-If the service provider does not offer such a possibility or has not (yet) activated it for the RUB, please contact the University Library [[mailto:ub-webteam@ruhr-uni-bochum.de?subject=Shibboleth|Universitätsbibliothek]].
