Using a proxy server to access nfb.ca offers some advantages, such as a higher number of views associated with your institutional nfb.ca subscription and usage reports that are more complete. To this end, please provide us with the IP address of your proxy server.

Below are instructions for configuring your EZproxy service to access nfb.ca remotely. These apply whether you are using OCLC-hosted services or your own installation.

EZproxy options to review, especially if you’re administering your own installation:

The EZproxy server must be configured in SSL mode

For details, see this article on the OCLC website:
oclc.org/support/services/ezproxy/documentation/cfg/ssl.en.html?

Using the “proxybyhostname” option

If you want to apply the “proxybyhostname” option to your EZproxy server, you must use the generic security certificates, as explained here:
