VPN - Apple MacOS
The computer center provides two different options for using the VPN.
Please use only one of them!
The first option uses the Cisco AnyConnect client. If you wish to participate in video conferences while being connected to the VPN, please use this option.
The second option doesn't require any additional software. The VPN is configured using the VPN client of the operation system.
Cisco AnyConnect Client
1. Installation of the Cisco AnyConnect Client
Download the Cisco AnyConnect Client and start the installation once the download is complete.
At the "Installation Type" step, select only AnyConnect VPN. After that, confirm the installation by clicking on Install.
If during the installation you are being prompted to allow the installation of a System Extension, please do so by opening the System settings, then going to Privacy & Security and clicking on allow.
Connecting to the VPN
After successfully installing the Cisco AnyConnect client, you can connect to the VPN. Open die AnyConnect client and type any.rz.tuhh.de in the open window and then click on connect.
After that you are being prompted to enter your TUHH username and your password. After doing so, click on ok, you should now be connected to the VPN.
3. Disconnecting from the VPN
To disconnect from the VPN, open the AnyConnect app and click on the "Disconnect" button. Alternatively, you can click on the Cisco AnyConnect symbol in the menubar and then select "Disconnect".
Manuel Configuration of the VPN
No additional Software is required for the manual configuration, instead the VPN-Client of the operating system is used.
1. Manuel configuration
Open the system settings and select Network in the menu on the left. At the bottom right click on the options button then select "Add VPN Configuration" and "Cisco IPSec". Then enter following configurations:
Display name: TUHH-VPN
Server address: any.rz.tuhh.de
Account name: cxx0000
Password: Your password

Finally, click on create. You should now be able to connect to the VPN
2. Connecting and disconnecting to and from the VPN
To connect or disconnect to or from the VPN, open the system settings, go to Network and then click on VPN. Here you should now see TUHH-VPN. Using the On/ Off button, you can connect or disconnect to or from the VPN.
Alternatively, you can let the VPN connection be shown in the menubar. To do so, open the system settings, go to Control center and then select under VPN at the very bottom "Show in Menu Bar".
