SECURITY NOTE: It is recommended that you treat remote eduroam networks as 'untrusted', and to make a VPN connection back to Massey's network when possible. It is also recommended that you connect to secure web sites (i.e. sites starting with HTTPS rather than HTTP). Note: This is not available for all web services/sites.
