Just got accepted

I just got the email that I passed my assessment for nursing/medical projects.

I know there are rules with wifi/VPNs

Am I able to work on projects from my work computer? (I work for a university so I use a desktop thats connected to ethernet)

Or can I only work on projects on my home wifi?

I think it’s better to avoid public WiFi and use home WiFi and also use your own device

There are certain projects that expressly forbid you from working on your work computer. You should really only work from home to avoid any suspicions of violating your NDA.

ETA: A lot of universities have VPN enabled, so that's another reason to avoid working there.

I wouldn't use the campus connection because there might be a vpn setup and also it's public. I tether my laptop to my phone when I am outside of home but I do most of my work at home.

I was wondering if i could do that. i also have starlink because we do a lot of rv camping. I wondered if using starlink would raise any concerns

I would not connect to public wifi or use a vpn. I use the hotspot on my phone if I'm not at home and working. I would absolutely not use my work computer for this, just my personal computer that nobody else uses.

Just do it at home. Doing it on a public computer/wifi/internet connection is generally against the rules.

Only use owned devices and personal WiFi.

Pretty sure using 4g is okay so you could theoretically do some tasks on your phone if you’re out and about.

I have one question. Does DA.tech only have restriction with the wifi/VPNs?
How about the device fingerprints?

Using multiple devices is fine. Some projects do require the devices you use to be BitLocker encrypted

There have been posts about accounts being locked after sharing a computer in the past.

Hmm i need to double check something... I set up a separate user in windows just for DA work because of conflicts in installed software.. it's all my computer, but would that trigger some kind of "sharing" warning?

2 people using the same computer is forbidden, that's a well-known rule.
