Bilkent VPN services are restricted to Bilkent students and staff.
Using Bilkent VPN services requires the user to have a valid VPN account.
VPN accounts can be created at the address: https://vpnregister.bilkent.edu.tr
One needs a valid Bilkent STARS or BAIS account to open a VPN account.
VPN accounts are closed once Bilkent affiliation ends.
When a VPN connection is established, ALL Internet traffic on that computer goes through Bilkent’s Internet connection. Since we do not want ALL user traffic to go though our network, we have blocked popular heavy traffic sites (like youtube, facebook) over the VPN connections. The purpose of Bilkent VPN is solely providing access to restricted Bilkent resources.
