[Eril-l] Testing Access to E-resources from "off-campus"

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

We use the free version of Proton VPN as well as disconnecting from the wifi on our phones and using data. There are some reasonably priced options out there if your institution is willing to pay for one.

Thanks!

Subject: [Eril-l] Testing Access to E-resources from "off-campus"

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?

Thanks!
Denis
