Connection Profiles

ITKMITL-VPN-SPLIT-TUNNEL

ITKMITL-FULL-TUNNEL

Which profile to choose? (Split vs Full Tunnel)

The two profiles differ in how they handle internet traffic:

  • Split Tunnel (Recommended): Use this to access the faculty’s internal services only. General internet usage will remain fast.
  • Full Tunnel (For accessing research databases): All your internet traffic will be routed through the faculty’s network, giving you the institution’s IP address. This is ideal for accessing restricted research databases like IEEE Xplore.

Setup and Usage

Once you have successfully installed the program, open the OpenVPN GUI. After opening, you will see its icon appear in the Tray Bar. Right-click it to open the menu.

Then, select Import > Import file…

A file selection window will appear. Select the desired profile file.

To connect, right-click the OpenVPN icon in the Tray Bar again, select the desired profile, and click Connect.

A window will pop up asking for a Username and Password. Enter the username and password used for the faculty’s information system (the same credentials for Onlearn or the ITFORGE_UFO network).

That’s it! You can now use the VPN service on the Windows operating system.

You can use the VPN service on your macOS computer by installing OpenVPN Connect for easy and convenient use. You can download the program from the link below.
