Instructions for accessing the UID fileserver via VPN.


VPN (access to UID fileserver and software)

Access to fileserver

Connect to VPN

  1. Open your browser and connect to vpn.student.umu.se
  2. Authenticate with your UMU-ID credentials
  3. Download and run the installer for the Cisco AnyConnect Client
  4. Run the AnyConnect Client and type ‘vpn.student.umu.se’ as the server address
  5. Authenticate with your UMU-ID credentials

Be aware that ALL network traffic will go through the Umeå University VPN servers/network if you are logged in with the AnyConnect VPN client. Only use it if you need to access the UID file server, otherwise you will put unnecessary load on the University servers/network.
