Supported Operating Systems and Web Browsers

This feature is not available in Safari on macOS 15.x (Sequoia). Please use a different browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Connect to https://vpns.cis.kit.ac.jp/ with a web browser.
You will see "Please login" page. Enter your login name and password for "Username" and "Password". Then, click "Login" button.
If you click Single Sign-On without entering any information, you will be logged in through the KIT Federation IdP.
When you successfully log in, the portal page of the browser VPN will be displayed.

Even if you bookmark a website accessed via the Web Browser-based VPN, you won’t be able to access it later. Please follow the procedure for adding bookmarks for your personal use to register bookmarks in the Web Browser-based VPN.
Always log out after use. This is to prevent misuse by others impersonating you.
If no communication occurs for 30 minutes, you will be automatically logged out. If you wish to continue using it, you will need to log in again.

Click on “Quick Connection”, which is located at the bottom left of the portal page screen.

Only URLs starting with http:// or https:// are accessible.

Attempts to access certain services (such as Web mail, Help Desk, etc.) will be blocked. Please access these services directly.

You can add frequently accessed URLs to the personal bookmarks of your Web Browser-based VPN.

Click "New Bookmark" button.
Enter the name of the bookmark in the “Name” field, the URL you want to bookmark in the “URL” field, and a description of the bookmark in the “Description” field (optional).
Click "OK" button.
The new bookmark will be displayed on the "Your Bookmarks" section.

When you’ve finished using a task that requires a VPN connection, make sure to log out. This helps prevent third parties from spoofing your identity.
