Network connectivity
Here's an overview of ways to access the internet while at NWERC.
Wireless LAN
We will provide limited wireless network connectivity for those with laptops. Please consider the following points.
- The network is not very secure and connecting is at your own risk.
- Connections are allowed only from fully patched systems. Make sure you've applied all Windows, Mac OS X or Linux updates at home.
- Only the following ports will be available: SSH, HTTP(S), RDP, message submission, IMAP(S), POP3(S)
- Please use this connection responsibly so we can offer it next year aswell.
- You can be held responsible for any damage your actions or your system may cause.
- The ssid is "UU-PUBLIC" or "UU Uithof VPN".
Eduroam
Alternatively or additionally, you can use Eduroam. The university buildings are also mostly covered by a secured WLAN which can be accessed by Eduroam. Students from all Dutch universities, and more and more internationally, can connect to these with their own university credentials.
The advantage is that it is authenticated and the connection is a bit more secure. The ssid is "eduroam".
There's some more background available on this topic.
Internet-PC's
We will also provide some kiosk-style internet PC's on Friday and Saturday evenings for those without laptops.
