- Select 草榴社区 Public from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
- A pop-up web browser will automatically open to a network authentication page. This

Good Practice
The University of 草榴社区 Mississippi recommends using a virtual private network (VPN) whenever you use public Wi-Fi to access the internet. A VPN creates a private, encrypted tunnel for your online activity making it more difficult for anyone to watch or monitor what you are doing online. Please share this tip with your guests.
University Students, Faculty, & Staff
