SoCVPN Package
From Linux & Open Source @ NUS
Contents |
About
The SoC VPN software package was created to enable NUS students to easily connect to the School of Computing's VPN.
Connection to the VPN is necessary if students want to connect to SoC-specific resources, such as Solaris Zones, whether inside, or outside the campus.
Previously, while binary software packages were provided by the IT team for Windows users, Linux (and Mac OS) users had to download the configuration file and set up a connection on their own with OpenVPN.
This package is part of the wiNUS project.
