Last modified by Denisa Wernerová on 03.08.2023 12:57

This client allows connection to the VPN concentrator using a standard web browser. It require a browser with enabled Java or ActiveX. The advantage of this client is that it better communicates from the network behind the firewall (for professionals: uses SSL/TLS instead of IPSec). It also supports 64-bit versions of Windows.

Installation process:

  1. If you use Internet Explorer and higher, add the address of the VPN concentrator as a trusted site.
    Go over Tools → Internet Settings → tab Security → icon Trusted Sites → button Servers. Enter https://vpn.vsb.cz and add the Add button. Save the settings.
