instructions to remote connection --> this connection is no longer in use
If you or your student wants to connect to 'Goru' from your (personal/Nikhef) laptop (from outside of Nikhef) it is necessary to install and have EduVPN active. Instructions for installing this are described here: https://wiki.nikhef.nl/ct/VPN_on_laptop_or_home_pc. It is available on Windows, macOS and Linux and the setup is mostly next, next, finish.
After installing you need to use a Remote Desktop Tool. In Windows you can search for 'Remote Desktop Connection' (installed in the OS), on macOS you can download 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' from the AppStore and on Linux there is a program called 'Remmina' that does the same thing.
Once you have the tool installed you can use 'goru.ad.nikhef.nl' as the hostname. Once it has connection with Goru it will ask for your Nikhef username and password. If you enter this it should connect you to the machine.
If you are working from a Nikhef managed Windows machine (located @Nikhef) then you don't need to install EduVPN because you are already on the right network. Then you only need to do the Remote Desktop part to connect to Goru.
