I am living on campus. I connected to the UCSD VPN and the wifi is working great for me. Here is how to connect to it: https://blink.ucsd.edu/technology/network/connections/off-campus/VPN/
Hope this helps and good luck with midterms!
Interesting, that is a strange solution but as many of the issues currently seem to be routing related I could see why that may work. We are planning on doing an emergency change tomorrow morning which will hopefully improve the situation.
In the meantime, I would be curious if others report similar improvements using the VPN. Are you using split or allthruucsd?
Also, for future readers, if the download link for the VPN client isn’t working try going to https://vpn-2.ucsd.edu and log in there to 2stepsecured-allthruucsd. This should download the client.
Edit: If you cannot reach vpn-2, I’ve uploaded a Windows version of the client here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dV2yVVSeCy_bITYP_i3JIrujMTBWmxv_/view?usp=sharing
Edit: my coworker is tentatively reporting it’s working for him so this may be a good temporary solution.
