==You can connect to the UiB network using VPN==
[[fil:vpn_trans.png|right|200px]]
 
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a way to connect to the UiB network even if you are outside of our campus. Thus you may access UiB's IT services such as [[Oppkobling mot hjemmeområde|eget hjemmeområde]] and [[Lagring_og_backup#Fellesområder|fellesområder]]) even if you are not in the university area.
 
VPN also provides a more secure data connection both on UiBs landline network and on the internet.
 
VPN connection to UiB can be used form computers connected to the Internet, e.g. from [http://www.sib.no/no/bolig/beboer/internet studentby-nett], via [[ADSL|ADSL hjemme]], via [[Trådløst datanett på UiB|trådløst nett]] on campus or [[På reise med UiB-PC|på reise]].
 
For the time being, UiB provides three different services for VPN, This is necessary because ther is no singe service that works well with all the different systems and gadgets our users need to connect.
