 ======= How to use Wi-Fi network and VPN with Linux computers =======
-For the usage of a VPN client under Linux there are various of possibilities. First of all there is proprietary software (1st and 2nd option) as well as open source software (3rd, 4th and 5th option). With most of the popular distributions those packages can simply be added via the graphical user interface. With some distributions the appropriate packages are available directly after the installation, they can be configured immediately afterward.

+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 care of the rest.
