| You'll need to configure your browser to use the proxy for internet access. | Some sites require the use of a VPN for internet access. Make sure that your VPN is setup to direct traffic to UniSA and configure your browser proxy. |
For visitors to UniSA:
Simply
connect to eduroam as you would normally, using your home institutions username
and domain/realm (such as jsmith@institution.edu.au),
password and security settings (these are compatible but might be slightly
different to what's used at UniSA).
Once connected to eduroam you'll have high-speed access to AARNet, CANARIE, TEIN2, GEANT, JANET and Internet2 (and all AARNet on.net sites) as well as access to the rest of the Internet.
There is no need to use a VPN connection unless you need access to a specific service at your home site.
