[Eril-l] Solution for testing off-campus access

[Athena Hoeppner]

If you use EZproxy and have static IPs for your PCs,  you can set EZproxy to treat specific IP addresses as though they are off campus by adding a few IncludeIP lines in your config.txt.

Example directives:
## Include connections from Athena's and Ask a Librarian PCs
# Athena
I 132.170.184.188
I 10.173.184.188
# Ask a Librarian
I 132.170.186.117
I 10.171.186.117

We use a hotspot-this is convenient, inexpensive, and very effective.

Hello all,

We are looking at new solutions for testing/troubleshooting off-campus access to e-resources. Our team of 6-ish folks were previously using a mix of remote desktop and VPN setups or the Opera Browser VPN,  but we are in the market for something more stable. If you have a great setup or product to recommend for this task, we would love to hear about it!
