Rumba

As of 26/9/20 The VPN service, Rumba, was introduced to alleviate the congestion that users have experienced on Samba VPN since so many users have been working from home.

Rumba allows to easly connect to the Unversity networks without the need for downloading a client and provides a stable connection.

The service is under development so we will continue to update you if there are any changes.

Connecting to MyPlace – Administrative Staff 

MyPlace is a virtual terminal that allows administrative staff to access administrative software and for students to remotely access all software found on public computers with ease. Myplace replaces the Corona service that was made available to administrative staff in March 2020 and the MyDesktop service that had been available to students.

To use MyPlace you will need to connect to the University networking. It is recommended using the  Rumba service instead of the Samba client since Rumba uses fewer computer and internet resources.
