Yes, open access and proxies are supported.

Talking of Wireless and MPower, does it support open access unsecure
networks? My university uses this type of connection, however I have to
authenticate myself by entering my username, which is my student ID, and
my password. Also, does the MPower support connections that goes through
a proxy? This is how my university requires us to authenticate, as we
have to enter our username and password to log on to the proxy server.
Thanks!
