Many of you have been using FortiClient VPN for quite some time to access to internal University services i.e. TeraTerm. However, FortiClient is built on outdated technology which will no longer be available at the end of January 2021. If you are a Windows user, we recommend that you replace FortiClient with Citrix Gateway as soon as possible. Currently there is no support for all Linux versions at the moment but we are investigating possible solutions.
The new service has been made available by Information Technology for students and staff. Citrix Gateway will allow you to access internal, University network-based applications from the Internet. This service, as well as the University, is protected and secured by multi-factor authentication for identity verification and also requires that a device must meet specific security requirements before it is allowed on the University’s network.
Students and permanent staff can migrate to the new VPN service by going to their web browser to the site https://securevpn.sun.ac.za and follow the on-screen instructions.
SunID users can migrate to SU VPN MSP service by going to their web browser to the site https://suvpnmsp.sun.ac.za and follow the on-screen instructions.
Alternatively, you can log a request for assistance with the setup of VPN on the ICT Partner Portal.

Heelwat personeel gebruik reeds vir `n geruime tyd die FortiClient VPN om toegang te kry tot die Universiteit se interne dienste, byvoorbeeld TeraTerm. FortiClient is egter gebou op ou tegnologie en sal vanaf einde Januarie 2021 nie meer beskikbaar wees nie. Indien jy `n Windows-gebruiker is beveel ons aan dat jy so gou moontlik FortiClient met Citrix Gateway vervang. Tans is daar nog nie ondersteuning vir alle Linux-weergawes nie, maar ons ondersoek moontlike oplossings.
Informasietegnologie het die nuwe diens beskikbaar gemaak vir personeel en studente. Citrix Gateway sal jou toegang gee tot interne, Universiteitsgebaseerde toepassings via die Internet. Hierdie diens, sowel as die Universiteit, word sodoende beskerm deur veelfaktorbekragtiging vir die verifikasie van identiteit en vereis ook dat `n toestel moet voldoen aan spesifieke vereistes voordat dit op die US-netwerk toegelaat word.
Studente en permanente personeel kan migreer na die Citrix VPN-diens deur via hulle webblaaier te gaan na https://securevpn.sun.ac.za en die instruksies te volg.
SunID-gebruikers kan migreer na die SU VPN MSP-diens deur via hulle webblaaier te gaan na https://suvpnmsp.sun.ac.za en die instruksies te volg.
Alternatiewelik kan jy `n versoek aanteken om hulp aan te vra met die opstelling van VPN op die ICT Partner Portal
