Background

MUST Proxy Server (created on 10 March 2003) provides http and ftp caching and web-content filtering for the MUST community. This proxy server is still in its test phase and as such the use of this server from within the campus LAN is optional. Nevertheless, we recommend you use this server if you wish to experience increased performance when accessing the Web and help us assess it's functionality.


Why configure your browser to use the proxy?
Because it's faster to retrieve cached Web content from the LAN than access it directly from the Internet.
