UC San Diego Web Proxy

Learn about the Web Proxy service.

Off-Campus Access Discontinued

Web Proxy service connecting off-campus to campus systems is no longer available, effective July 2017.

Why is Web Proxy no longer offered off-campus?

1. The Web Proxy service insecurely transmitted network credentials
2. The infrastructure on which the Proxy operated was end-of-life and insecure.
3. There are established services that are better for access from off-campus.

What should I use to connect instead?

From off-campus to campus

• Use the UC San Diego VPN service.
• Talk with Library Support about access options for their resources

From campus to off-campus

• You may be able to use proxy.ucsd.edu:3128, (typically required by "private" IPs which are not routable beyond the edge of campus)
• Please refer to your browser's support for instructions or contact your local system administrator to find out if web proxy service is available through your department.
