The purpose is to allow (some) access to servers, e.g. MATLAB license server, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
Install (Ubuntu/kubuntu)
Install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install openconnect vpnc
Open connection
Run the following command:
sudo openconnect --script /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script https://vpn.ait.dtu.dk/
or
sudo openconnect --script /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script https://extra-vpn.ait.dtu.dk/
(supply password for SUDO, and your logon credentials to campusnet when prompted)
NOTE: On newer versions of Ubuntu Linux the vpnc scripts are in the folder: /usr/share/vpnc-scripts/vpnc-script
Now you have a new network connection, check with ifconfig:
ifconfig

If you installed MATLAB as described in http://downloads.cc.dtu.dk/# then you should now be able to run MATLAB using your DTU license.
