versione italiana

The GlobalProtect client allows you to use the UniTN network resources in the same way you can do in your office but from a remote site (home network or any internet connection) and it supports Windows,MacOS and Linux clients.

The GlobalProtect Mobile client is available on the app stores (Android/Apple) and can be used on mobile clients.

For security reasons, some internal resources are not available if you connect with an old and unsupported operating system. Users connecting with Microsoft Windows 7 or previous versions or Mac OSX 10.12 (Sierra) or previous versions can use the VPN but they will not be able to access all the University shares.
