CalVisitor is not intended for use by members of the campus community who have access to eduroam and will not allow access to the bSecure Remote Access System (GlobalProtect). No password or special configuration is required to access the CalVisitor network.

Other applications that use http or https (ports 80 or 443) for data traffic will typically also work on CalVisitor.
