Set Up a VPN Connection to the ETH using Network-Manager in Gnome
This illustrated guide explain how to connect to configure and start a VPN tunnel to the VPN-gateway of ETHZ using Network-Manager in gnome.
Enter Configuration Menu
To set up a new VPN connection in gnome click on the Network-Manager applet, and select VPN Connections -> Configure VPN.
A new dialog window opens. Select Add to add a new VPN connection.
Note: If the "Add" button is greyed out or if you can only find the entry "Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)" after clicking on "Add", please install the package network-manager-vpnc-gnome by issuing
sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc-gnome
in the shell.
Configure VPN Service
Now you can configure the VPN Service. You need the following data:
Connect to / Service : vpnc
Connection name: ethz (feel free to choose something else if you want to)
Gateway: vpn-cluster.ethz.ch or sslvpn.ethz.ch
Group Name: ETHZ-spezial
User Name: your N.ETHZ user name
After entering all the needed informations, you can apply the settings.

Troubleshooting the VPN Connection
VPN connection failed. Connection was not provided by any settings service
Make sure the checkbox "Available for all users" is not checked. Restart the pc after unchecking that checkbox.
