VPN - iOS (FEUP Manual Configuration: SSL Check Point Capsule)

Through the VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can establish a secure connection from the outside to U.Porto's internal network and thus access institutional resources and services. This service is available to users whose SIGARRA status is "Active" or "Attending". Access to the VPN must be done using your Information System credentials.
