Why is this being done:

...

1. All traffic within one department
2. All traffic from any computer connected to VPN

3. All outgoing connections from the computer inside PMA except when connecting to a different department in PMA

4. If you can perform a task while on Wi-Fi you will be able to perform the same task while on hardwire except when connecting to a different department in PMA

5. Connections to instrument and printer networks

6. Any whitelisted services (Complete this form to request a service to be whitelisted: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6Rplgi8pWRUTz9j )

What will no longer work after all the rules are applied (please see graphic below):

1. Traffic between departments: Physics, Fusion, Math, Astronomy
2. Incoming traffic initiated from TACC (it is recommended to initiate the connection from the computer in PMA not from TACC)
3. Incoming traffic from devices on Wi-Fi
