Using UD's Web Proxy Server: Short Version

Using UD's Web Proxy Server

UD's web proxy server provides off-campus access to materials previously available only through a direct connection to the campus network.

On-campus users and off-campus users who dial in directly to the University of Delaware do not need to use a proxy server with their web browser.

Off-campus users who use another ISP (not UD) will need to use the proxy server to use materials whose use is restricted, by license, to University faculty, staff and students--e.g., research databases made available by the University Libraries or software available at udeploy.udel.edu.

IE 7 (Windows XP) and Vista Users

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 (Windows XP) and Vista operating system do not work with the UD Proxify shortcut. If you need to use UD's proxy service, please select one of the following options:

To use UD Library Resources using the web proxy service, follow this link.

To use the UDeploy server via the web proxy service, follow this link.

To use any other web page that requires UD's proxy service, you can copy and paste the URL of the page you wish to view into the box labeled proxify a real URL: on the main UD Proxy Server web page. You can also use this method to access the UDeploy server or Library resources.

In all of these cases, after you provide your UDelNet ID and password, you should have access to the UD-licensed resource.
