VPN Access¶
Accessing IT4Innovations Internal Resources via VPN¶
To access IT4Innovations' resources and licenses, it is necessary to connect to its local network via VPN. IT4Innovations uses the FortiClient VPN software. For the list of supported operating systems, see the FortiClient Administration Guide.
Realms
If you are member of a partner organization, we may ask you to use so called realm in your VPN connection. In the Remote Gateway field, include the realm path after the IP address or hostname. For example, for a realm excellent, the field would read as follows reconnect.it4i.cz:443/excellent.
VPN Client Download¶
- Windows: Download the FortiClient VPN-only app from the official page (Microsoft Store app is not recommended).
- Mac: Download the FortiClient VPN app from the Apple Store.
- Linux: Download the FortiClient or OpenFortiVPN app.
