I use my phones internet through my data plan or hotspot. I check in with my laptop or on my phone. I try not to use the schools VPN because I thought it reads it like they are on campus and not everyone has the VPN set up.

I always bring my laptop into work (Asus Zenbook, nice and light, under 1 kg) and test offsite access on it, using my phone's hotspot as the non-work network. Might have to play with a couple of those free VPNs though as that could be a more streamlined approach



We used to use Opera?s VPN for this, but ran into trouble with it a few years ago. Now we use the free version of ProtonVPN. It works a treat.

I have used some kind of remote desktop to my home computer. Depending on what OS I have at work vs home at the time, I might use Teamviewer, Windows Remote Desktop, Remmina, or some version of VNC. I also use those in the other direction, to get to my office computer to be "on campus" when working from home.

Jennifer, can you tell us more about how you utilize SmartBear??? I am very
intrigued!

I can't help but notice that so many of the methods mentioned (which I also
use!) involve using our own personal devices, money, and/or off-hours time.

At least for me, it feels hard to articulate to others (i.e., higher ups)
why regular access to a device with a *non*-campus IP address is an ongoing
necessity of e-resources management. What if there were a document out
there that librarians could refer to or that had example language for
explaining to folks who don't do ERM work why it's necessary, and
summarizing ways this can be accomplished using the *institution's*
resources? Do folks think that could be useful in getting their
institutions to help implement better solutions to this problem?

All the best,
Jessica

Cornell University library also uses Smartbear BitBar to test off campus access.
I find it useful to test different devices, systems (Windows or macOS), and browsers (everything, including browsers I haven?t got on my library issued laptop), androids or iphones.   https://smartbear.com/lp/bitbar/bitbar-web/

I also struggle with the inappropriateness of using resources not paid for by my university to do my work. I refuse to entangle my phone in work for instance.
Since things like VNC are free, I feel a little better about that, but only a little.  And (long story) my home Internet cost is subsidized by the university so that seems fair.

The obvious way the univ could do this is with a pay-as-you-go smartphone data plan that they pay for, so you could test using the phone company's data network/IP range.

Jennifer, can you tell us more about how you utilize SmartBear??? I am very intrigued!

I can't help but notice that so many of the methods mentioned (which I also use!) involve using our own personal devices, money, and/or off-hours time.

At least for me, it feels hard to articulate to others (i.e., higher ups) why regular access to a device with a non-campus IP address is an ongoing necessity of e-resources management. What if there were a document out there that librarians could refer to or that had example language for explaining to folks who don't do ERM work why it's necessary, and summarizing ways this can be accomplished using the institution's resources? Do folks think that could be useful in getting their institutions to help implement better solutions to this problem?

All the best,
Jessica

Hi all,



We are looking for a solution to mimic being off-campus to test our electronic resources. I currently do this by using a VPN that I pay for myself, which is not ideal. How do other folks do this? Do you use a VPN? If so, is there a specific VPN vendor you?d recommend?

Has anyone thought about a computer with an IP that is outside the IP range you give to providers?  I don?t know how feasible that is, or what the cost might be.  Years ago that solution was suggested by someone in our IT department, but he was talking about assigning that IP to the machine I normally use, which obviously would create more problems than it solved.  Still, a dedicated troubleshooting computer sitting in a corner somewhere might be an option.

I also struggle with the inappropriateness of using resources not paid for by my university to do my work. I refuse to entangle my phone in work for instance.
Since things like VNC are free, I feel a little better about that, but only a little.  And (long story) my home Internet cost is subsidized by the university so that seems fair.

The obvious way the univ could do this is with a pay-as-you-go smartphone data plan that they pay for, so you could test using the phone company's data network/IP range.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your question!

We started using Mozilla VPN this year, which allows for up to five devices-enough to cover our whole staff-and is paid annually. The first year cost us $30 using a promotional code.

Here?s the link for more details: Mozilla VPN<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/>.

The service is browser-agnostic, so it doesn?t require using Firefox. Previously, we relied on free VPNs available in the Chrome Web Store and similar platforms. However, we found those to be slow, unreliable, and they raised some security concerns.

So far, Mozilla VPN has worked very well for our needs.

Best regards,

To clarify, this is not necessarily a current problem at my institution.
(But I'm interested in learning about the capabilities of SmartBear and
similar technologies to address this and other tasks!) My institution's
robust telecommuting policy means that I don't currently feel obligated to
use personal resources (beyond standard telework personal resources, e.g.,
Internet access) to test off-campus access because, as others have noted,
even when I'm on campus, there are off-campus colleagues I can call on to
help troubleshoot.

I'll note, I do think that telecommuting is something to include in a
hypothetical document outlining a variety of ways to make sure that ERLs
can reasonably use company resources to test off-campus access! Even prior
to the ongoing pandemic, I remember listserv conversations in which testing
off-campus access was discussed as being something that supports
e-resources librarians' work being suited to a schedule with
telecommuting in it.

All the best,
Jessica
