Over complicates connecting to internet which has no good reason to have security this tight, merely being on the same internet is no longer a security risk, completely unnecessary

I tried logging in to Cal Poly Pamona campus with ChromeOS and importing the ONC file, it doesn't retain the file and I'm not able to log in at all. I've rebooted my Chrome OS several times and still I'm not able to do it. This is the worst app not because it doesn't work but because this has been an issue since 2019 and at this point it's almost as if the developers don't care. It redirects me to chrome://net-internals/ only to be taken to the same page where the import ONC file does not work. The chomebook is actually a great machine and the fact that it isn't taken seriously is very unfortunate.
