  2. The window that pops up is the OpenVPN GUI. Another, smaller window pops up, asking for your credentials to log in. Enter your WATGAMER credentials into their respective fields. Make sure to use your WATGAMER login, NOT WatIam/Nexus/Quest login!

It also shows the IP that you are assigned to by the VPN. You are now free to access any of the Games Institutes network resources.

    2. If you entered your credentials incorrectly, the credentials prompt will appear again, this time with red text at the bottom, like below:
