VPN – Virtual private network

VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network" and is a technology to create a secure connection over the internet. By logging in via the VPN service, you can access internal resources at Lund University, for example Primula web, even if you are at home or on the move.

Here you can find support guides about VPN 

Digital meetings

Remote work will often demand digital solutions so we can continue to communicate and meet each other. Digital meetings are environmentally friendly, efficient in terms of time and cost and are always to be considered as an option when planning meetings.

Guest login for visitors to Lund University

There are currently two different wireless networks to which visitors can connect:

• LU Guest

The user selects "LU Guest" in the list of available networks on their computer or tablet. They will then be asked to enter their name and mobile phone number or email address. The login details will be sent to the user within a minute, allowing them to log in to LU Guest. The duration of the internet connections is limited to 24 hours.

• Eduroam

If a guest, such as a visiting researcher, needs access to the university's network, an LU account must be created by the person responsible for the directory at the department/unit. More information about appropriate access levels for university-affiliated guests can be found on the IT website: https://www.it-webben.lu.se/system/lucat/behorigheter/ (in swedish).
