Remote Access via Proxy Service The UC Berkeley Library Proxy Server allows authorized UC Berkeley users to gain remote access (from off campus) to electronic resources licensed by the UC Berkeley Library.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) Service Allows you to log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network. Some programs require VPN for off-campus use: Luna Insight, MDL Crossfire Beilstein and Gmelin, SciFinder Scholar, the java client in UC Image Service, and the Connect function in EndNote. Use our instructions for Windows or Macintosh computers to download and set up your VPN software. Do not use the version of VPN that comes on the Connecting@Berkeley CDROM. Important: VPN must be turned on before you access licensed library resources. Be sure to turn off VPN when you have finished using these resources. For more information, please see our VPN FAQ.
