The HTW Berlin offers VPN access to its students and staff members. An encrypted connection (via SSL) is established between the dial-in point (e.g. from home) and the HTW network to ensure secure data transfer.

This service is especially useful if you want to dial into the HTW network from home or other places (with an internet connection) to use services that are only offered in the internal HTW network. This is made possible by obtaining an IP address of the HTW.

To be able to use the VPN access some requirements must be met:

• You have an internet-enabled device (e.g., computer/laptop/smartphone)
• To set up the VPN, you need a second factor (abbreviation: 2FA or MFA) from the university. This is an additional security layer apart from your HTW account password. You can set up the second factor using the following guide: Multi-Factor Authentication
• You have administration rights on your device
• You have a HTW-Account
• You are not connected to the HTW network (Eduroam)
