TuKAN :: Remote web access :: Setup
The configuration is at "http://www.slpk.sk/proxy.pac"! Due to diversity, it is impossible to provide support in configuring or sorting out problems relating to remote network access in all cases.
Preset portable Firefox (FF) browser [110+MB] for MS Windows is available here:

Of course, before using preset FF, you need to unzip (extract) it first to an appropriate directory of your choice (e.g. right-click extract all) and not by clicking on the zip-file and running it from distributing archive! When FF requires updating, allow it, please.

Setup for Firefox (and browsers using own settings, OS-independent):
Tools >> Options >> General >> Network Proxy >> Settings >> Automatic proxy configuration URL: http://www.slpk.sk/proxy.pac
We recommend Firefox (and possibly univerzal setup) not only for users of alternative OS (Unix / Linux, macOS).
Setup for MS Windows Edge / Internet Explorer (and browsers using system settings, e.g. Chrome):
"Shortcut" for Win10/11: Settings (gear icon in the Start menu) >> Network and Internet >> Proxy >> Use configuration script >> Script address: http://www.slpk.sk/proxy.pac
Win7,8,8.1,10,11: Control Panel >> Network and Internet >> Internet Options >> Connections >> LAN settings >> Use automatic configuration script >> Address: http://www.slpk.sk/proxy.pac
If you use mobile connection (e.g. usb modem), the connection must be set up as well (in Connections >> Dial up and Virtual Private Network settings).
Account information will be asked for after you click on a database link in the "E-zdroje / E-resources" section at the main page.
