Install a TOTP authenticator app
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires an authenticator app on your phone. If you don't have one yet, install any of the free apps listed below.
Install the OpenVPN client
You need the OpenVPN Connect client on the computer you'll use to connect. Download and install the version for your operating system (see links below).
Log in to the VPN portal
Open the portal URL in your browser and sign in using your institutional account (eduID).
Set up OTP (one-time password)
The portal will display a QR code. Scan it with your authenticator app. The app will start generating 6-digit codes that change every 30 seconds.
Verify your OTP code
Enter the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app. After successful verification, the configuration download will become available.
Download your configuration (.ovpn)
Click the download button. A file named username-vpn.ovpn will be saved, containing everything needed for connection – certificate, key, and server settings.
Connect to the VPN
Open OpenVPN Connect, import the downloaded .ovpn file, and start the connection. Each time you connect, you will be prompted for an OTP code from your authenticator app.
Password: current 6-digit OTP code from the app
