[Aida-compute-users] AIDA DGX-2 VPN moves to port 443 on Monday at 09:15

[Joel Hedlund]

Hi!

As you may have noticed (and seen in chat)

> https://zulip.aida.medtech4health.se/#narrow/stream/13-dgx2/subject/move.20vpn.20to.20.3A443.20on.20Monday/near/6773

the DGX-2 VPN service has now been moved to port 443 (the standard port) and is now available at https://vpn.cmiv.liu.se.

This means that if you previously explicitly gave a port number 442 when connecting, you must now give 443 instead (or just remove the port designation altogether).

We made this change slightly later than envisioned, as our onsite head admin Dennis was preoccupied with urgent issues elsewhere, and therefore made this change at his earliest opportunity. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
