 +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 method **, not by using the 'included client'.
 +
 +Please make sure to switch to **vpn.gwdg.de** once in a while since updates will not be delivered while using **vpn-b.gwdg.de** or **vpn-c.gwdg.de**.

 +
 +1. Connect to [[https://vpn.gwdg.de/|vpn.gwdg.de]] and use your credentials to log in. Your credentials are typically just your email address and the corresponding password.
 +
 +**Attention:** Because of the current overload, it may not always be possible for you to connect to vpn.gwdg.de. You may alternatively download the client from [[https://ftp.gwdg.de/anyconnect/|our FTP server]] by using the following credentials: Username **vpn**; Passwort **fernzugriff**.
 +
 +2. Click on //AnyConnect// within the navigation bar on the left.
 +
 +3. Click on //Start AnyConnect//. If you do not have AnyConnect installed yet, you are asked to download the installation file. You may need to wait several seconds until the download starts.
 +
 +4. Install AnyConnect from the file you have just downloaded. Please make sure that you are in possession of sufficient administration rights on your system or consult your system administrator.
 + 
 +5. Open the newly installed //Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client// to start the VPN.
 +
 +6. Insert any gateway address (**vpn-b.gwdg.de** or **vpn-c.gwdg.de** or **vpn.gwdg.de**) and click on //Connect//.
 +
 +7. Enter your credentials. These are usually your email address and the corresponding password.
 +
 +8. Accept the terms and conditions for using the VPN.
 +
 +You are now connected to the VPN.
 +
 +If you want to start the VPN again, just start the client directly. It is not necessary to install the program again.
