Network Access
Private Network
If working on a machine that is connected to the private network you will not receive internet access. You will be able to connect to the campus networks, but not the Internet.
To facilitate the use of the internet, CS runs a proxy server which you can route your http traffic through. This is usually enough get the software you need installed.
Server details: webproxy.cs.uchicago.edu:3128
Usually, all you will need to do is to add the following to your .bashrc:
if [[ "${HOSTNAME}" == 'hostonprivatenetwork.cs.uchicago.edu' ]]; then MYPROXY='webproxy.cs.uchicago.edu:3128' export http_proxy=http://$MYPROXY export https_proxy=https://$MYPROXY export HTTP_PROXY=http://$MYPROXY export HTTPS_PROXY=https://$MYPROXY fi
