# Remote Access Instructions (Fernzugriff)

This source provides a high-level overview of the tools and requirements for accessing the services of the Universität Greifswald from external locations. It distinguishes between public services and internal services that require secure tunneling.

## Key Requirements
- **Connectivity**: A stable internet connection with a minimum speed of **2Mbit/s** is required for smooth operation.
- **Devices**: Compatible with computers, smartphones, and tablets.

## Service Accessibility
The URZ categorizes services based on their accessibility:
- **Public Services**: Accessible worldwide without additional restrictions. These include the World Wide Web (WWW), Email, Web Conferencing, [[nextcloud]], [[instant-messaging]], [[moodle]], and the [[selbstbedienungsportal]].
- **Internal Services**: Require a [[vpn]] connection to access the university's internal network. Examples include network drives and internal databases.

## Remote Work Options
- **VPN**: Used for general access to internal network resources.
- **Telearbeit (VDI)**: Specifically mentioned as a method to access a professional workstation computer remotely via Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

## Communication and Collaboration
- **Instant Messaging**: The university provides a central Jabber/XMPP service.
- **Web Conferencing**: DFN services are recommended, supporting between 23 and 200 participants depending on the event type.
- **File Exchange**: The URZ explicitly advises against sending files as email attachments within working groups. Instead, users should use [[zentrale-datenspeicherung]] (network drives) or [[nextcloud]].
