UHU-VPN

Like the UMA, UGR, etc., the University of Huelva (UHU) also offers a VPN service for the university community. So you can benefit from the security of this type of network with encrypted traffic and access to documents and restricted information that is only accessible by connecting to this type of service.

In addition, as is usual in this type of service, being for the academic field, it is for free and without restrictions beyond the basic rules of use imposed by educational centers.

What exactly is UHU VPN?

La UHU VPN it is a restricted virtual private network service that you will not be able to use for any application. It is intended for PAS/PDI staff, that is, corporate staff of the educational center itself, as well as for all enrolled students, and for companies that are collaborating with the university and also need access to the restricted material to which this VPN gives access.

Through a digital certificate you can access the UHU VPN to channel your communications through a VPN with SSL encrypted protocol. A) Yes, any connected device to the Internet (and from anywhere on the planet), be it a PC, a mobile device, etc., you will be able to access the UHU Corporate Network with files, exclusive web applications, etc.

That is, with the UHU VPN we find a the service very similar to that of the UGR and other Spanish universities.

How to connect to the UHU VPN?

Once you have the accreditation to be able to enter, as long as you are the staff or student mentioned in the previous section, to enter the VPN you simply have to follow these steps:

  1. Access the service website UHV VPN. Another option to start is through LDAP, for this you can go directly here.
  2. Click on the type of access depending on whether you are PAS/PDI, Students or Collaborating Companies.
  3. That will start the login process using a digital certificate and your access credentials.
  4. Now you will have access to that information from the UHU servers restricted for others.
  5. Once inside you will have a web-based environment where you can browse, filter, search for content, etc.

It's that simple to use this VPN...

Advantages and disadvantages

Obviously, being a VPN service for academic use its capacity is limited. It is not a service that you can use for streaming content from third-party platforms, nor for downloading or P2P file sharing, etc. In this case, its objective is well defined, and it is to use the access to generate a secure and encrypted channel between your device and the servers of the University of Huelva to access all the content.

Third parties will also not be able to benefit of this completely free service. Only the companies collaborating with the university will be the only ones authorized to use the VPN to collaborate. Yes, it is a good service as long as you are a teaching staff or student of said faculty.
