Virtual Private Network (VPN)

VPN allows you to access some Inria applications such as Doc-SI (IT documentation) and CASA (vacation) when you are not physically at the lab (these applications remains accessible from your desktop at the lab).

There are two ways to use the VPN:

• Standard VPN: only the traffic to inria networks is routed through the VPN tunnel. You can use this VPN in a web browser : https://vpn.inria.fr/.

• Total VPN: all the traffic from your machine is routed through the VPN tunnel. This might be useful if you are located in a country which restricts your web usage.

  Warning

  You should not access the total VPN with your personal laptop for security reasons. Connections via the VPN are reserved to corporate machines.

  You need to download the Cisco client for your OS. Visit https://vpn.inria.fr/ > AnyConnect > Start AnyConnect and follow the installation guidelines. Start the client and connect to vpn.inria.fr. Use your Inria credentials to login.
