My proxied bookmark or link stopped working. How can I fix it?

Display Question

The easiest way would be to make a new bookmark. Proxied links to our electronic resources can be found through UC Library Search or through the database list on the Library website.
If you would like to manually edit a bookmark or link, please make the changes indicated below:
- Outdated proxied URLs have "http" instead of "https", and likely contain a port number in the URL.
- If you see the string http://proxy.library.ucsb.edu:2048/login?url= in your URL, please make the following changes:
  - change http to https
  - remove the port number -- :2048 -- from the middle of the URL. If you see a different 4-digit number instead of "2048" in this location after ucsb.edu, remove the colon and digits.
  - Your new URL string should be https://proxy.library.ucsb.edu/login?url=
- Making these two changes should give you a working link that will route you through the proxy server for authentication.
