When starting for the first time, you must enter the VPN gateway:

vpn.rrz.uni-hamburg.de

Then click “Connect”

A webpage will then open where you must authenticate with your username and password.

If your username is already subject to 2FA, you must also authenticate with a second factor.

To disconnect, click “Disconnect” in the same window

If you wish to access your local network while connected to the VPN, please configure the appropriate setting.

Warning:

This is a security risk! Under no circumstances should you configure this setting on an unsecured network (e.g., an internet café)!
