VPN

If you need to access the campus network away from uni – for example, to SSH into a local computer or use the printers – you can use the campus virtual private network (VPN) free of charge. You can find more information on this on university VPN info page: https://studentit.unimelb.edu.au/wireless-vpn/vpn . This involves installing a client called Cisco, following the prompts, and simply logging in with your student details.


Connecting to the WiFi

The University of Melbourne's wireless network for on-campus use is UniWireless.

Note: A University of Melbourne username and password are required to connect to the UniWireless network.
