+======= How to use Wi-Fi network and VPN with Linux computers =======
-To use a VPN client on Linux there is a variety of possibilities, that is to say to use proprietary software (1st and 2nd option) as well as open source software (3rd, 4th and 5th option). At the majority of the popular distributions those packages can simply be added via the graphical user interface. At some distributions the appropriate packages are available directly after installation, which can be configured immediately after that.

+Due to the current load in VPN, two more servers were set up in addition to vpn.gwdg.de: vpn-b.gwdg.de and vpn-c.gwdg.de . We recommend using one of them. This is only possible with the AnyConnect and the OpenConnect clients; not with vpnc.\\
+\\
+ We strongly advise Linux users to use the built-in OpenConnect client together with NetworkManager and not AnyConnect. This also works for the alternative servers b and c.\\

+You may download the AnyConnect Client from here:\\

 ===== 2. Use of the Cisco VPN client =====
-At first you need to download the Cisco VPN client at www.goemobile.de/files/vpnclient-linux.tar.gz. Those *tar.gz files are archive files which need to be unpacked first. Additionally you need the following packages from build-essential and linux-headers-generic repositories. Now the VPN client needs to be compiled. Change into the directory of the unpacked files and edit them in the terminal with root privileges. Here you can start the installation script ./vpn_install. The installation wizard takes over the rest.

 ===== 3. VPNC on Gnome =====
- Natürlich bietet es sich an direkt im Network Manager der grafischen Oberfläche eine VPN Verbindung einzurichten. Zudem sind diese Alternativen OpenSource. Zunächst benötigt man hierzu das Paket network-manager-vpnc aus den Paketquellen. Anschließend kann man im Network Manager von Gnome eine neue VPN Verbindung einrichten. Der Name der Verbindung ist beliebig (z.B. Goemobile), der Gateway ist 134.76.22.1, der Gruppenname und das Gruppenpasswort sind beide "goemobile". Jetzt steht die VPN Verbindung zur Verfügung.
+Of course it appears to be reasonable to install a VPN connection in the Network Manager of the graphical user interface, also because these alternatives are open source software. For this you need the package network-manager-vpnc from the repositories. After that you can establish a new VPN connection in the Network Manager. The name of the connection is optional (e. g. GoeMobile), the gateway is 134.76.22.1, group name and password are "goemobile". Now the VPN connection is available.
 ===== 4. OpenConnect =====
- Auch OpenConnect kann benutzt werden. Dafür benötigt man das Paket "openconnect" aus den Paketquellen. Anschließend kann man im Network Manager eine neue OpenConnect Verbindung einrichten. Der Verbindungsname ist beliebig (z.B. Goemobile), der Gateway ist 134.76.22.1.
+You also can use OpenConnect. In doing so, you need the package "openconnect" from the repositories. After that you can install a new OpenConnect connection in the Network Manager. The name of the connection is optional (e. g. GoeMobile), the gateway is 134.76.22.1.
-===== 5. KVpnc unter KDE =====
+===== 5. KVpnc under KDE =====
- Auch für KDE Nutzer gibt es eine passende und quelloffene Alternative. Hierzu wird das Paket vpnc und kvpnc aus den Paketquellen benötigt. Anschließend findet man KVpnc in der Netzwerkverwaltung. Hier muss ein neues Profil erstellt werden. Der VPN-Typ ist natürlich "Cisco (frei)", die Daten wollen wir manuell eingeben. IPSec-ID und Gruppenpasswort sind jeweils "goemobile". Der Verbindungsüberprüfungstest muss auf jeden Fall ausgestellt werden. In den Allgemeinen Einstellungen wählen wir einen beliebigen Verbindungsnamen aus (z.B. Goemobile) und geben den Gateway 134.76.22.1 an. Als letzte Einstellung muss unter Profil verwalten und dem Unterpunkt Verbindungsspezifisch unter Cisco der "Cisco-NAT_Modus" auf "cisco-udp" verändert werden. Nun steht die VPN Verbindung zur Verfügung.
+There is an appropriate and open source software alternative for users of KDE as well. For this you need the package vpnc and kvpnc from the repositories. After that you can find KVpnc in the network manager where a new profile has to be created. Of course this type of VPN is "Cisco (free)", because we need to enter the data manually. Here IPSec-ID and group password are both "goemobile". In every case the connection check has to be disabled. Then in "general settings" choose an optional name for the connection (e. g. GoeMobile) and set the gateway as 134.76.22.1. The last configuration has to be made under "manage profile" at the subitem "interconnection specifications" under Cisco by changing the "Cisco-NAT_Mode" to "cisco-udp". Now the VPN connection is available.
