Network drive external access


Access to the network drives from computers that are not in the DNPW (e.g. from a private computer at home or from a laptop during a business trip) requires the following:
VPN client

By means of a VPN connection, an encrypted connection can be established from the GoeMobile or Eduroam wireless networks, from a wired network within GöNet or from a third-party network (DSL, ISDN, modem, GSM, etc.). This makes it possible to connect a device from one's own network to a neighboring network without the two networks having to be compatible with each other. The GWDG website provides detailed information about the setup.
