{{< figure src="/support/selftest/selftestvirus.png" title="Error: Virus Blocked" height="70" >}}

You've been virus-blocked. This can have several reasons. For the reasons why we have to block, if we suspect there might be a virus infection, take a look at the FAQ.

Please follow the link shown in the error message and follow the steps shown to get unblocked.

Error 4: Not a Member

{{< figure src="/support/selftest/selftestnomember.png" title="Error: No proxy configured and not a StuStaNet member" height="70" >}}

In order to access the Internet from your room, you must either use a proxy provided by us or become a member.

At the moment you don't seem to have either of them.

To set up the proxy correctly, please follow the link in the error message.

You can find out about the advantages of a membership in the Wiki. Probably the most important advantage for you is that no proxy setup is necessary anymore.
