IPKM DokuWiki

Please install one of the following clients to get into the IPKM network, this is the only way to access your local resources (Office PC, Lab PC) as they are all behind a firewall. This is not needed for Zoom or other video conferencing software.

In order to be able to use the VPN connection, please use the IPKM mail server username (not mail address) and password.

This will install a preconfigured client:

• 64-bit
• 32-bit

Install the official OpenVPN Client for Mac and load the configuration file. (Note: Tunnelblick may also work, but users reported problems since spring 2022).

Here is a ZIP file with the certificate if needed: arkani-udp4-1196-config.zip

Alternatively use Viscosity.

Install network-manager-openvpn and/or network-manager-openvpn-gnome. Then you can load the configuration:file

Install OpenVPN Connect. Then you can download the configuration file and import it in the app.

You can use "RustDesk" on Linux, Mac, IOS, Android and Windows. In order to make it secure please change the default configuration so that your PC in the IPKM network is not advertised in the internet by the default rustdesk relay server. While this makes it very simple for you to access your PC, it alse makes it easy for others. Therefor we have run own relay server for rustdesk only reacheable in our VPN:

• ID Server: 192.168.10.11
• Relay Server: 192.168.10.11
• API Server: http://192.168.10.11
• Key: FRSRRBBCbaNPkycrLIYFJJ7VZoFH3SQBJ1AkUjNV4vo=

Configuration is simple:

1. Open RustDesk
2. Click on Settings (three vertikal dots), then ID/Relay Server
3. Set it according to the screenshot

This is for access of data in the HRZ intranet, for example formulars. You could also use one of the VPN connections above. For this one to work you need your TU-ID. This service is provided by HRZ and is independent of the IPKM services. In case our VPN is down you can use this to at least access papers fo example.
