Full Tunnel

  • Everything is sent through the VPN
  • Neccessary to access services, that require an TU KL IP while not having one themselfes. For example electronic media (licensed e-books, e-journals and databases) of the universitys library. Services on the domain uni-kl.de usually have TU KL IP-Addresses and do not require Full Tunnel.
  • Access to local services like network printers can be disrupted

Split Tunnel

  • Only IPs of the TU KL are sent through the VPN
  • Does not work for services that require an TU KL IP while not having one themselves. For example electronic media (licensed e-books, e-journals and databases) of the universitys library will usually not work with Split Tunnel. Services on the domain uni-kl.de usually have TU KL IP-Addresses and work with Split-Tunnel.
  • Unrestricted access to local services like network printers
