Due to the exponential growth in request we are currently flooded.

Please do:
1) Create an IT request using https://support.nwu.ac.za
2) Add a reachable number on the request (e.g. cellphone)
3) Feel free to check for an update on the ticket as much as you like
4) Keep in mind that Microsoft has ended any and all windows 7 support. the VPN service on win7 has limited support and we strongly recommend upgrading your operating service to a supported version.
