If you are using any of the Apple Mac devices (e.g., MacBook, iMac), you may follow the steps below so you can connect to the UA&P network proxy using your web browser (Safari, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox) and eventually access the online journals regardless of your location.

  4. Click on the Advanced button found on the lower-right area of the window. This would show you a more detailed set of configuration options. 
  5. Click on the Proxies tab. 
  6. Enable Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS) by ticking on the corresponding box. On the right area, under the Secure Web Proxy Server section, type in 'dragon.uap.asia,' and '3128' as seen on the image below.
  7. Click OK to close the window, and don't forget to click on Apply to implement the changes you have done. You are now done with the network proxy configuration.
