If possible, I'd like to be able to connect to my university's HPC from within WSL via the windows terminal or VSCode integrated terminal. I've only tried to connect via the windows terminal. I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Here is what I have tried:
- In Windows, I create the VPN using Pulse. Then from within WSL I try to do
ssh myUserName@University.edu
. It fails and saysPort 22: Resource Temporarily Unavailable
- In WSL I installed vpnc and created a
MyUniversity.config
and put it in/etc/vpnc/
. Then I try to connect and I get the following error:
vpnc: can't open /dev/net/tun, check that it is either device char 10 200 or (with DevFS) a symlink to ../misc/net/tun (not misc/net/tun): No such device
vpnc: can't initialise tunnel interface: No such device
Any suggestions on a workaround or how to resolve either issue? Or is this just not supported and I'll have to work with something like MobaXterm in my windows environment?
ping University.edu
when the Pulse (whatever that is) VPN is enabled? Is there a particular machine in the university that you would normally connect to, and if so can you ping that machine?MyUniversityID@HPC.University.Edu
while Pulse is connected.ping HPC.University.Edu
and it just hung there. I did ctrl-C and it says 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss
