Remote access via VPN

See installation instructions bellow

Before we begin, a short notice on the limitations in the current VPN solution by Palo Alto Networks that you need to be aware of before going through the steps bellow:

• Supported OS: Windows 8.1/10/11; MacOS 10.11 & above; Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 & above, CentOS 7.0 & above, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.0 through 7.7; Android: 6.0 and above; iOS/iPadOS: 10 & above.
• The VPN is currently working with Israeli phone numbers ONLY. A solutions for Phone numbers from abroard is planned, but currently not available. Please make sure your phone number is correct in your personal info section in MyTAU.
• Kosher phones are currently not supported, as an App is needed to be installed on your phone in order for it to work. A solution for this is planned.
• If you don't have cell phone at all, it will be impossible for you to connect through the new VPN and a solution is not planned.

For those who have those limitations, please contact us through our mail: lifeguard@tauex.tau.ac.il

We will ask the computation center to allow you to use the old Cisco AnyConnect solution till the issue will be resolved.

Links for Cisco AnyConnect download:

• If you're logging through Free-TAU VPN (not the regular Free-TAU) from within the campus: https://wifivpn.tau.ac.il/
• If you're logging from outside the campus: https://sslvpn.tau.ac.il/

We won't provide a full guide, as the instllation is pretty straightforward (you need to insert your TAU details, then you'll download the program and install it).

When the VPN is installed put in the address depending on your location as listed above (either wifivpn if you're in the campus or sslvpn).
