I would like to be able to access websites from my laptop computer as if I were using a limited-access server that is connected to my university's network. I want to do this to access scientific articles while working from other places.

The university has a VPN system, but it does not allow me to browse articles as if I were located in my office and connected to the university network. I also cannot use sci-hub for this (for instance, usually directly outputs a .PDF from a given article and does not allow you to navigate through the page of the journal).

Note that I can only connect to this server if I am securely connected to the university's VPN, in a way that the only way to use such a system is to have access to both the server and to the VPN. Also, I am the server admin.

Would you know if this is possible?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your responses! I was able to make it work by following these instructions to open a SOCKSv5 tunnel and change the Proxy configuration on my alternative browser! It worked like a charm!
