Hello,
I use Teamviewer to connect to a computer which is outside of our IP range. This is great and has always worked for me for testing.
Kind regards,
Katherine

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Replicating remote access on campus.
Hello list,
Increasingly we need to check access to resources from outside our campus network to support remote users and I just wondered how other libraries are doing this?
So far as I'm aware all of our campus computers are on the same IP range that we give our suppliers so I have on occasion used my mobile to access resources 'remotely'. This is not ideal for a number of obvious reasons.
I initially spoke to our IT department about getting a Tor browser, but again, the reasons for not being allowed to are obvious enough. The next suggestion was a VPN but I was told the service they provide would not be suitable as it serves to bring external clients on to our internal network.
I just wondered if there was a simple solution I've overlooked?
Thanks,
Angus
