Body
The new UF Guest network is designed to provide guests to the university a basic but reliable wireless network experience. When the user joins the network, an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) screen will pop up. On accepting the AUP via a button click, the guest will have access to the Internet.
All UF Guest wireless users are subject to a 10Mbps rate limit. This applies to traffic going to the Internet or the UF network. Guest users do not have access to hosts on UF Private IP addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12), nor may they VPN into the campus network.
Content filters are in use to block generally objectionable web content or content which may pose a danger to the guest's device (such as malware). UFIT also filters general groups of applications that may be harmful to the university network or the broader Internet. These blocked applications generally fall into the following categories:
- Peer to Peer (file sharing)
- Botnet Command and Control (security)
- VPN to the UF Campus Network
- Unauthenticated Email Applications
Other applications should work on the UF Guest Network. UFIT constantly monitors the network and may decide in the future to add additional application categories to this list for security or stability purposes. This page will be updated whenever application categories or other issues mandate changes.
For more information, please see the UF Guest FAQ.
