Filtering
APNK internet access is filtered to ensure inappropriate material is not viewed in a public environment.
Please talk to a library staff member if you believe a website has been incorrectly blocked.
Security
In order to stay safe on a public wireless network the APNK recommends that you follow standard computer security guidelines, including:
Have up-to-date anti-virus software running
Have up-to-date security patches for the operating system and other programs installed
Check that websites requiring passwords/credit card/personal information use HTTPS (see below)
Connect to a known Wi-Fi network
APNK also ensures that Wireless Client Security Separation is enabled at all our free Wi-Fi hotspots – this means that associated wireless clients are not able to communicate directly with each other's devices.
Only connect to a trustworthy Wi-Fi network
The APNK Wi-Fi network is:
Name: APNK Library
Password: apnk2765
Once connected users receive a prompt to agree to the APNK Terms Of Use. Other Wi-Fi networks may also be available in the area. We cannot guarantee the security or trustworthiness of networks other than our own. You use these at your own risk.
Use HTTPS
If you are accessing a page that requires a login and password, or if you are entering ANY personal data (credit card, etc) make sure that you are on a secure site.
Check that the web address begins with https instead of the usual http and your information will be safely encrypted before transmission.
