For security purposes, the access to some UNIL or FBM resources is restricted. To access, your equipment (computer, tablet, phone) must be connected on the UNIL network.

You can work from outside UNIL as if you were at UNIL using the UNIL's VPN (Virtual Private Network): crypto.unil.ch. This secured connection allows you to access all FBM resources (NAS, FBM applications, etc.) and to freely use the internet on several Swiss train stations and some hotels. Ivanti Secure Access is an application installed by default on every FBM equipment that allows you to configure VPN access on any kind of equipment (OSX, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, Windows phone).
