What is the RIT proxy server?
A. RIT Library subscribes to hundreds of reference and research databases for your use. These databases feature copyright restrictions and contractual agreements which require their use be restricted to members of the RIT community only. If you are coming from an Internet address other than “rit.edu” then the proxy server comes into play.
Proxy server is a machine that acts as an intermediary between the user’s computer and a destination server, such as a website. It can be used to hide the user’s location, and protect their identity while they are browsing the web. proxys.io offers a quick and easy way to create a secure tunnel between your computer and the Internet while you’re at home or on the road.
