[OSX-Users] Re: Apple HE store / vpn access?

[Ben Hodgson]

Traffic to the Apple HE Store for Southampton Uni doesn’t have to go over
the Uni. VPN — it’s purely for the sake of redirecting you via
procureweb. I’ve made purchases through it before with no VPN involved. The
URL is http://store.apple.com/uk_edu_5000790. Enjoy!
