Because the College's internet usage is logged, we use a proxy service which sits between your device and the internet. Modern browsers will complain about this as it thinks it's someone in the middle intercepting the information that you're sending and receiving, so we need to install a trusted certificate that your device can trust, the browsers can trust and we can trust.
Whilst in College and after connecting to the wifi, on your device, open a browser and type in http://10.3.6.253/login
Then click on the link named "Click here to open a new tab to download the HTTPS Inspection certificate"
This will open the Download page which contains instructions. These instructions are fine for
- a Mac, so please use the instructions for Safari (OS X)
- a Windows 10 laptop using the Chrome browser, so follow the Chrome instructions
The instructions for IOS devices (iPhones, iPads) and Edge browsers on laptops are not up to date (and we cannot alter them!) so follow the below steps please.
