Computer newbies: College Computer Security
College Computer Security
by pizzacrust - 2/11/08 1:56 PMI am worried about my campus authorities snooping in on my internet usage while I'm using their internet connections lan and otherwise.
Currently I have McAfee and the latest security updates from Microsoft but I have to use a program called Cisco Clean Access Agent in order to use their network to reach the internet and it requires me to enter a user name and password that is unique to me.
I am wondering if there is a way to prevent them from looking in on my internet usage. I figure my security on my computer is decent but that I have no way of stopping them once I'm on their network.
You're right. . .

They probably can't see into your machine, but when you access their equipment they will have, or can get, a log of usage.

Another option is to set up tunneling; but, you will still need to access through their server.
Add this to the post above.
