VPN access at University of Cologne

Tritt der Fehler "Potential CSRF attack detected" im Browser nach der Anmeldung in Shibboleth oder "Internal Error / Interner Fehler" im Cisco Secure Client auf, dann löschen Sie bitte zunächst die Cookies und den Browser-Cache Ihres verwendeten Webbrowsers, schließen diesen und versuchen erneut eine Verbindung mit dem VPN-Netzwerk herzustellen.

All members of the University of Cologne can use a VPN connection to access services outside the campus that are only available on the university network. Install a VPN client on your computer that connects you to the university network. For more information on tunnel types, see Configuration: Tunnel Types.

Be advised, our VPN service requires setting up multi factor authentication in advance.
At this point, we would like to point out once again that student and staff accounts are personal and that passing on the credentials ("account sharing") or providing this access to others constitutes a violation of our user regulations and will result in the account being blocked.

Please make sure your operating system is up-to-date before connecting to our network.  Use of outdated operating systems is prohibited due to security concerns.

If you have been using a different client to connect to our VPN service, it is best to switch now to the Cisco Secure Client.

After August 5th other clients than Cisco Secure Client will not be able to connect to our VPN service any longer.
