SSID: VPN/WEB

to the Flyer

The VPN/WEB network is open. This means, that there is no encryption of your traffic between your device and the access point. To ensure a secure connection only such services which utilize an encryption by default are enabled and require an authentication like the VPN Service of the TUHH.

After connecting to the wireless network, the following services are available:

  • VPN Service of the TUHH:
    For this purpose, you may start the Cisco VPN Client or another compatible VPN Client.
  • eduroam CAT:
    The eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool is an alternative to these data center sites for configuring eduroam.
  • WebVPN Service of the TUHH:
    If you do not have a compatible VPN client or there is no compatible VPN client available for your device, you may log in to the WebVPN Service using your web browser. Through this Service it is possible to download the Cisco VPN Client.
  • https://ps.tuhh.de/ to change your TUHH password is directly accessible.
  • The ssh server of the RZ is directly accessible.
  • Access to Webmail Service, Calendar Service and retrieving/sending emails over an encrypted connection with the mail server of the TUHH are also possible.
  • When accessing other websites you will automatically be redirected to the WebVPN Service.

Students of other universities in Hamburg may also use the VPN client of their institution.

General troubleshooting information

  • After connecting, you will receive a dynamically assigned IP address (via DHCP) from the network 134.28.176.0/21. This means your address should be in the range of 134.28.176.X … 134.28.183.X. The network mask is 255.255.248.0.
  • The default gateway is 134.28.176.1 and should be reachable via ping 134.28.176.1.
  • The VPN Service should also be reachable via ping 193.174.167.246.
  • The name resolution (DNS) should work. It always should be possible to open https://webvpn.rz.tu-harburg.de in your web browser.
    The TUHH automatically assign you the servers 134.28.202.14 and 134.28.205.14.
