* Linux (Ubuntu, Generic), Windows, Mac: [VPN user guides](https://vpn.univie.ac.at/f5-w-68747470733a2f2f7a69642e756e697669652e61632e6174$$/vpn/anleitungen/)

*~~Arch based AUR package [AUR f5fpc](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/f5fpc/)~~ broken. Download via `yay`, replace `.deb` with `.deb` from ZID. `makepkg --skipinteg -i`.
Follow the install instructions for Windows, Mac and Linux and make sure the software works.
On Windows and Mac you get a nice gui that requires you to fill in the VPN server: `vpn.univie.ac.at` and username and password from the `u:account`. On Linux execute the following:
```
```sh title="Big IP Edge Linux connection"
# split tunnel
f5fpc -s -t vpn.univie.ac.at -u [user]
# full tunnel (everything)
```
The status can be checked with `f5fpc --info`.
## Using Multi-factor Authentification (MFA)
When you enable MFA ([ZID-VPN-MFA](https://zid.univie.ac.at/en/vpn/#c41781)) on the [VPN login page](https://vpn.univie.ac.at), you will have to enter the TOTP (time-based one time password) during login:
```sh title="Big IP Edge Linux connection usinf MFA"
# using the TOTP code (6 digits)
f5fpc -s -t vpn.univie.ac.at -u [user]@[TOTP]
```
## Connect script
One can use the commands above or use the [connect2vpn](connect2vpn) script to connect to the University VPN service. Especially in Linux the interface is much more primitive than on Mac or Windows.
