Proxy Service
Click here for the Japanese version.
Proxy service
A "proxy" is a computer that sits at the boundary between an internal network
and the Internet, acting as a "proxy" for internal computers to connect to
computers on the Internet.
Our university provides a proxy server for services that require a proxy. Please
use a proxy according to the service you use.
Internet services that require a proxy
Some internet services don't require a proxy or require the use of a proxy.
This depends on the method of connecting to the campus network you are using or the Internet service you are using.
Internet service | Necessity of proxy when using on-campus network |
---|---|
Services that are limited to access only from proxy | Proxy required |
Services other than the above | No proxy/generic proxy required |
*If you connect to the on-campus network from off-campus network using "Off-Campus Access Using VPN", proxy settings are required.
Proxy settings
If you need a proxy when using services such as e-journals that identify users, please make settings.

General Purpose Proxy setup
* This service is no longer required. (Click HERE for details)
In the case of communication using a specific port number, it is necessary to
use a "general purpose proxy" service.
Please install and configure the dedicated software in advance, and authenticate
each time you use it.
- Usable Port Numbers
-
The following table outlines the port numbers that have been verified.

Direct access to the on-campus network can also be done using an off-campus direct connection (IP-Reachable).
On the other hand, general-purpose proxies, unlike off-campus direct connections (IP-Reachable), do not require on-demand seminars or applications, so the administrative burden on users is reduced. At the same time, since connections to off-campus are limited to specific ports, there is an advantage of low risk from a security point of view.
For the above reasons, we recommend using a generic proxy if the desired Internet service is available on a generic proxy-supported port. - Using the General Purpose Proxy
-
To use a general-purpose proxy, install and configure software called "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client" in advance, and make a VPN connection each time you use it.
