# VPN Routing

**VPN Routing** at the Universität Greifswald is configured as a split-tunnel system. Instead of routing all internet traffic through the VPN, only traffic destined for the university's internal networks is directed into the tunnel.

## Target IP Ranges
The following ranges are routed through the VPN:
- `141.53.0.0/16`
- `10.0.0.0/8`

## Technical Requirements
On Windows systems, the OpenVPN client must be executed with **Administrator Rights** to dynamically modify the system's routing table. Without these rights, the connection may appear "established," but the user will be unable to reach university-internal servers or pages. Routing entries can be verified using the `route print` command in the Windows command prompt.
