VPN with Cisco Secure Client for ChromeOS

Some restricted services of the University or the State and University Library can only be used when you are on campus, so that the device you use has an address from the area assigned to the University.

To access these services from home or on the road, you must install a so-called VPN client software (AnyConnect or OpenConnect) on your device once and establish a connection to the campus with the VPN client before each access to the restricted services. This means that you are "virtually" on campus and can use the services you are used to.

Please note the different types of tunnels and make sure you choose the correct tunnel.

First, open the "Google Play Store" on your device. After that, search for "Cisco Secure Client-AnyConnect". Now click on "Install" at the top right corner.

Now read and confirm the license agreements. If you do not agree to the license terms, then you will not be able to use the VPN service.

Now open AnyConnect. You will be greeted with the window from the image.

Now click on "Connections".

Now click on the "+" symbol at the bottom right.

Now enter the required information:

The description is freely selectable
The server address must be "vpn.uni-bremen.de"
"Advanced preferences" do not have to be adjusted

Now click on "Done" to create the VPN connection.

If "Uni Bremen" is selected under "Connections", then click on "AnyConnect VPN" now.

Das Bild zeigt eine Loginmaske für das VPN. Es sind die Eingabefelder Benutzername, Kennwort und Zweites Kennwort zu sehen.

First select the correct tunnel type.

Then enter your university credentials under username and password.

If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Uni-Bremen account, please enter your one-time password (sometimes also referred to as a ‘second password’) in the field provided.
If you have not set up two-factor authentication (2FA), simply leave the field blank.
If the field is not visible, you can ignore this paragraph.

Finally, click on "Connect".
