+Access to the EARS cluster is filtered by a bastion host.  We figured the easiest way to provide secure access to users was to use SSH as a proxy from a bastion host.
+
+ * First, create a SSH key pair and email the public key, as an attachment, to us.  Also let us know what your preferred username is.
+ * Once you get word that your account has been created, please try to SSH to '''egate.deterlab.net'''  The '''-D 1080''' will open a SOCKS proxy port on your local machine.

+
+* Under the proxy Details tab, fill in 127.0.0.1 for the '''Host or IP Address''' field, select the '''SOCKS proxy?''' check box, and select '''SOCKS v5'''
+
+* Now click the '''URL Patterns''' button at the top.  Add in the following pattern for EARS:

+* Now in the main window, make sure '''Select Mode:''' at the top is set to '''Use proxies based on their pre-defined patterns and priorities'''
