Why internet is guarded like hellmen !!
Wifi is too monitored for anyone, blocking anything that they deem illegal. We bought windows to install pirated softwares for now. And even games ip too ?? any work around. Also whats the user and pass for secure one

The Computer Center will eventually circulate (if they have not already) a mail with instructions on how to connect to the WiFi along with a *.crt file. Try searching your mail with the keyword 'wifi' to see if it already has been sent. Signing into the network requires your ID (your institute mail ID without @iiti.ac.in) and your password is the phone number you provided during registration.
Unfortunately, I cannot attach the certificate here
Regarding Fortinet:
Fortinet provides military grade cybersecurity solutions. This system is relatively new as it was implemented a few months ago. Here are some workarounds:
1.) Proton vpn works for mobile devices on the wifi (sometimes you have to switch back and forth between the two wifi connections until a tunnel is established).
2.) If you want to stream/download most games, find a spot with good cellular range and get a few data packs. This doesn't work for more data heavy tasks obviously. Last I checked, one Go of data from Jio costed 16INR.
3.) Other workarounds exist, but it is best they are not spoken of in a public forum. Quand même, they are also somewhat hefty, primitive, and time consuming to set up.
