<p>it works just fine.</p>
<p>Was it 2 days ago, because AIM crashed on everyone that day.</p>
<p>yeah, i was trying to go on it during orientation (14th-16th)

<p>Not sure which acces point did you use. The official one - UCLAWLAN is providing through many access points spreaded over the entire campus.
[Wireless</a> Ethernet Coverage Area](<a href=“Customer Support | Digital & Technology Solutions”>Customer Support | Digital & Technology Solutions)
Many of those access points are provided by various departments. They have different rules. Some might require you to use VPN, some require you to log in. It’s possible that the one you were using possibly was only allowing connections on preselected ports.</p>
<p>In any case using VPN ([Virtual</a> Private Networking (VPN)](<a href=“Customer Support | Digital & Technology Solutions”>Customer Support | Digital & Technology Solutions)) should enable you to use other ports. Also I would recommend it, since it encrypts your communication (if you’re not using VPN, anyone with a packet sniffer can see your communication)</p>
