To have access to our electronic resources from off-campus, please install the University of Bayreuth VPN-software. Additionally you need to set a proxy depending on the type of browser you are using.
You find the proxy and the link for downloading the VPN-client on the website of the IT-Servicecenter "VPN an der Uni Bayreuth" (Unfortunately, there is no English version available.)
A summary of the instructions for adjusting the proxy in your browser can be found here.
Before starting your research in our electronic resources (databases, e-books, e-journals), please make sure to log on to the VPN-client and check if the proxy is activated.
By using this link, you can check if all your settings are correct: http://laps.uni-bayreuth.de/proxycheck/
In case of any technical difficulties, please contact the IT-Servicecenter.
