The web proxy service operating at 172.22.255.71 (webproxy.net.unc.edu) will be decommissioned. Clients utilizing the proxy will need to migrate to a new preferred NAT architecture before this change time to avoid service interruption.
To migrate to NAT, client device owners or administrators need to engage ITS Security with a service request to initiate the NAT setup process for their specific servers and VLANs.
This proxy service was established to support patching of campus servers without Internet access in 2019 and grew to support specific security and SSO products over time. Work between ITS Networking and ITS Security has shown the campus firewalls can provide the same functionality through NAT and firewall policy. This simplifies client configurations and adds functionality to support more than the current standard HTTP/HTTPS protocols.
