2/ The university VPN is built on several protocols.
We recommend using OpenVPN when using this service. All available protocols can be used to access STU systems. Access to only some FCHPT systems is allowed via OpenVPN. For access to systems operated at institutes and departments of the faculty, it may not be available at all via the university VPN.
To log in to VPN STU, the login name is the same as for WiFi from login and "@stuba.sk".
Important: Do not use the same credentials on two devices at the same time, the connection will not work properly and may be interrupted.
Note: Information and instructions for STU VPN configuration can be found on the university website.
