EECE Proxy

The EECE proxy is for Staff and visitors only.  If you are a student you have to use the UWA proxy.  The configuration for the EECE proxy is the same as for the UWA proxy except the proxy host is "proxy.ee.uwa.edu.au" and the port is "8000".

Configuring your browser

Your browser should be configured so that it:

• Uses the proxy host "proxy.ee.uwa.edu.au"
  
• Uses port "8000"
• Does not use the proxy for local sites in the "uwa.edu.au" domain (unless you are using the proxy form outside UWA).
