Campus Firewall
The Campus Firewall provides protection to devices and services at the University from certain forms of attack from the outside world, by blocking or restricting access to them.
This helps guard services from disruption, or being used as gateways enabling an attacker to target other computers.
Key features
- Access can be granted so that specific servers and services at the University may be accessed from off campus, either from selected computers only, or from anywhere in the world.
Access instructions
If you're running a service or system that needs to be accessed from off campus, see how to request a service be made available off-campus.

Requesting a service to be made available off-campus
If you're running a service or system that needs to be accessed from off campus, you should contact your Departmental Computing Officer (DCO). Your DCO will contact IT Services, who will then get in touch to discuss your requirements.
We will establish whether access to your service needs to be granted through the Campus Firewall, or whether it can be accessed by other means, such as via the VPN service.
