Proxy Configuration
Here you will find
instructions for using the FTP and Web proxies. Keep in
mind that depending on where you access the proxies from
(whether you are inside or outside of the BNL network), the
process will differ slightly.
For FTP, you will not be
required to enter any passwords to use the proxies while on the
BNL network. However, when accessing the proxies from an outside
network (e.g. anything not .bnl.gov), you will be required to
authenticate using a CryptoCard token. If you do not already
have one of these, please visit
http://www.bnl.gov/cybersecurity/cryptocard_tokens.asp
for instructions on obtaining one.
Users who are only interested in
configuring their web browsers need NOT bother with CRYPTOCards, as the web proxies will not be needed when you are
outside the BNL network.

Proxy Configuration Instructions for External (wireless) Visitor Network
For most software programs, the proxy auto-configuration script will be
sufficient.
Software programs that need a hard coded proxy web address should
use the following:
- Inside BNL - IP Address: 192.168.1.165, Port: 3128
- Outside BNL - IP Address: 192.168.1.140, Port: 3128
Note: If only one field is provided use this format:
192.168.1.130:3128 or 192.168.1.140:3128
