Now that AirBears has retired and CalVisitor is being recommended for general web surfing where encryption isn't an issue, I wondered about short term guests who are here for more than a couple of days or for a month maximum who are not getting CalNet IDs (or getting affiliate status) to create AirBears2 keys, but are, for example, logging into email servers from home institutions, some in other countries. Isn't using CalVisitor, which isn't encrypted, ill advised to recommend?
Also, it wasn't clear whether the AirBears guest account option is still an available option. I've assumed that it went away with AirBears, but I still see the link at the site. We have created 7 day guest accounts for guests coming for meetings here. Also, it sounds like the CalNet sponsorship option doesn't give AirBears2 access. Just wanted to know how all of you are handling these temporary wifi access situations. Thanks as always for your perspective.
