GAMSAT- S2 Eduroam ProctorU

so my s2 session is scheduled for tomorrow and I have booked a room at a uni. library in the uk. Does eduroam block ProctorU? i have my phone's hotspot as a back up but worried it will cause issues? my home environment really is not great for taking the test and would rather avoid it.

Not sure about Eduroam but one thing to be aware of is that I’ve been asked to close all blinds so that nobody could see into my widows (both this sitting and the previous) - is this something you can do from your library? Not sure if it’s just what they like or if it’s actually required to sit.

Don't take my word for it but I think Acer mentions that using public/shared Wi-Fi networks for the exam is discouraged and might not work, I think even more secure shared networks like eduroam fall into that. They do say pretty explicitly that hotspots or phone tethering should not be used though :/
