To access the databases and full-text journals of the University Library, you must adjust the proxy settings of your browser:
Proxy setup
When using the Cisco VPN client, the following phenomena may occur: When the VPN client is connected, the university's internal websites (e.g. unileoben.ac.at or MUonline) are accessible, but external sites (e.g. orf.at or google.at) are not. This can be remedied by deactivating the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) interface.
