Connect to the campus Wi-Fi network
With eduroam you have easy and secure access to Tilburg University's wired and wireless network. In the Netherlands, several eduroam hotspots are available throughout the country. Not only at various educational institutions, but also in the city center of Tilburg you have access to eduroam. More information on setting up the wifi network can be found on the Self Service Portal IT.
With public and unsecured Wi-Fi networks, for instance, on trains, at airports, or in restaurants, others may be able to see what you are doing on the internet and what data you are sending. So do not send sensitive data (e.g., with e-mail or online banking) over networks you do not know or do not trust.
Connect to VPN
VPN allows you to access applications and services over the internet that cannot be accessed if you are not logged into the wired university network. If there is no VPN connection, the application or service will notify you that access is not possible.
The VPN connection only provides a secure connection between your PC/laptop and the university network for applications, services, and library databases of the publishers “Beck” and “Peeters” that cannot be reached without a VPN connection. It is not a general secure connection between your PC/laptop and the internet or other applications and services.
Before you can make a VPN connection, you must download the VPN client (Global Protect). This VPN client makes an authenticated connection to the Tilburg University network based on your username and password.
More information about installing the VPN client can be found on the Self Service Portal IT.
