About VPN

  • VPN is an encrypted link to HiØ's network from outside where you log in with your FEIDE username and password.
  • While connected to the VPN, HiØ's local network and  IT regulations for HiØ apply.
  • VPN is used to access various internal IT services, such as your home area, printers, library resources, dictionaries via ordnett.no, administrative solutions for employees, etc. while sitting at home, traveling, or elsewhere outside of HiØ.
  • You do not need VPN for working with personal files in OneDrive
