All Metropolia users have remote VPN access. Remote access is required when using internal services from outside Metropolia's offices. Remote access via VPN to the internal network is determined by the user's role and terminal.
Systems that require a VPN connection:
- HR system (https://hr.metropolia.fi/)
- TEM Travel Management System (http://tem.metropolia.fi/)
- Forecast Financial Tracking System (https://wintimeweb.metropolia.fi/Forecast/)
- Timecon Time Tracking System (https://tc1.metropolia.fi)
- Workflow Invoice Management System (https://thweb.metropolia.fi/workflow)
- Project servers supporting teaching
- Educloud
- Laboratory systems
Use a VPN connection only when necessary and prudent to ensure sufficient capacity!
Do not use a VPN connection while using online learning platforms, video conferencing services, or watching videos.
Services available remotely via VPN may be temporarily or permanently restricted when security or availability of critical services so require.
Metropolia's VPN connection is not designed for crisis situations.
OMA, Moodle, Zoom, Teams, or Skype for Business don't need a VPN connection to work.
Due to load issues, the ZOOM service will be migrated from Nordunet's cloud to Zoom's European cloud for a state of emergency and Zoom's cloud storage will be disabled. When the situation returns to normal, Zoom is returned to the Nordunet cloud.
