VPN Configuration Guide for Sensitive Cloud

⚠️

This is a new version of Sensitive Cloud VPN, it uses a new client and method of obtaining VPN configurations. Old details of VPN service are still available here

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows secure access to environments that are isolated from the public internet. At CERIT-SC, we use WireGuard VPN technology. To begin using the VPN, you must first request access and receive the necessary configuration details.

Please refer to the next section for instructions on how to obtain access.

More eduVPN instances at the same time?

Due to the limitations of eduVPN software, it is not possible to run two eduVPN instances and have more than one VPN tunnel active. You may hovever use the Wireguard + eduVPN at the same time, therefore it is possible to obtain “static configuration” at your organization’s eduVPN portal and use it for Wireguard software manually. Static configuration for vpn.trusted.e-infra.cz is currently not possible to obtain through eduVPN.

Switching from my organization’s eduVPN

If your organization is using eduVPN, you will need to switch organizations from yours to vpn.trusted.e-infra.cz first. ev4

Machine-to-Machine access?

In case you need the static lease of IP address for VPN tunneling to Sensitive Cloud, it is possible to hand static Wireguard connection profile. This can be arranged upon your request at e-mail trusted@e-infra.cz.
