Access to the faculty network from outside


Access to the faculty network from the outside is possible using a VPN service.

A VPN (virtual private network) is a tool to securely connect two computers via an unsecured network (in our case, usually the user's personal computer to the FJFI server via the Internet).
It can be used, for example, to access faculty servers or, if necessary, to run applications where the license is tied to the internal school network.

Employees (including postgraduate students in employment) may use CTU VPN service.
