  With SSL-VPN connection, you can access the campus network even when you are outside.
  (Web, SSH, FTP, Gakumu-system and other JAIST inside contents will be available.)
  SSL-VPN provides both "jaist-vpn1" and "jaist-vpn2" connections.
  The difference is the route used for accessing an off-campus serve. There is no difference in access inside JAIST resources.

The main differences from the previous service of dialup connection via (fep) server are:

• Before there was no distinction between inside and outside campus traffic.
• Now all services are available from the browser.
  All traffic is encrypted HTTPS.
• The new service can be used with simple preparation without the need for additional applications.

Using the SSL-VPN connection, you can access to the data in your home directory when you are outside JAIST network

After logging into SSL-VPN server, click ether "jaist vpn1" or "jaist vpn2."

A small window of "Network Access" will appear.

The dialogue box will ask whether you want to install the F5 Networks plugin/addon, click "Install."

Next, if a message "Status: Network Access Connection successfully established" is displayed in the window, it means that the connection between your computer and JAIST network was established and you can access to the computers and servers in JAIST network.
