We have a campus wide WLAN network, allowing all student through a VPN to be “connected”.

# apt-get install vpnc

configure the client under Ubuntu
edit the file under /etc/vpnc/ or just download my, edit it with your values and store it under /etc/vpnc/uni-vpn.conf

IPSec gateway 141.9x.1x.xxx
IPSec ID univpn
IPSec obfuscated <secret>
Xauth username <your_student_id>
Xauth password <student_password>

Starting the vpn client

first become root

$ su

and start the client

# vpnc-connect uni-vpn

Oder install the network manager vpn plugin

# apt-get install network-manager network-manager-vpnc
