How do I use the EZ-Proxy from behind a firewall?

Many schools, companies and other organizations control access to the Internet via software that are called firewalls.  If you are having a difficult time accessing our databases and you believe that you may be behind a firewall, you may need to contact your information technology (IT) specialist and ask if the company is using a firewall.

WNC Library's EZ-Proxy server is located at http://ezproxy.wnc.edu:2048/. Therefore port 2048 will need to be set to both send and receive TCP connections.

More information on troubleshooting firewalls...

For additional login support, contact the librarians at (775) 445-3227.
