Instructions: VPN Configuration for Android
Warning
On 1 August 2024, the preferred method of VPN connection from home to the Masaryk University network will change. The new connection will be made through the eduVPN interface, which can be done simply via an app or a newly generated configuration file. Instructions on how to connect both ways can be found on the main eduVPN service page.
The VPN connection method you have been using will continue to work until 29 November 2024.
Every active MU student or staff member can make use of a VPN. In order to log in, one must use UČO and a secondary password as login data. Please follow the instructions in detail. Not keeping up with this procedure may result in a non-functioning connection.
