Question

Hi All,

At RGU we use TheCloud to facilitate guest WiFi access to those who do not have eduroam access. This has been particularly useful as it takes the support for that service away from us which frees up resource, allowing us to focus on in-house services. At present this is an open SSID which forwards hosts to the sky network.

I've recently been informed that Janet will no longer support this tunnel to sky on their network.For that reason I am interested in how other institutions present a WiFi service which is not eduroam for guests on campus?

Question

Hi. More a poll than a question if you have a little time.

Answering ALL or LIMITED what level of outbound connectivity do community members permit their internal (managed and/or ' BYOD ') devices when it comes to accessing the outside world ?

I would just be interested to see what others do.

At current we operate a limited outbound port setup and consider requests case-by-case. In the main this is an historic thing which I think is due for review.

However we are questioning the validity of this in the modern world of I.T.
