VPN (EN)
Faculty VPN allows employees, teachers and students of FIT to connect to the FIT’s private network and to access internal services from anywhere.
Internal services include, for example:
- CloudFIT
- Remote connection to home directories
- Printing from a computer using PrintFIT (LPR/LPD/IPP protocol)
Information about the need to use VPN is described for each service for which it is required.
The University VPN can also be used for some of these services.
