3. Ensure the Connect automatically box is checked.
4. Click the Connect button.

6. You may be prompted to verify the servers identity. If so, click Connect. Note: Windows 8/10 will restart the authentication setup if Connect is not clicked quickly. If so, repeat 5 again.
7. You should now be connected to SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam.
