dc.description.abstract	Internet privacy and the ability to access electronic resources safely and reliably are fundamental concerns for libraries and their users. In 2024, a significant change is anticipated in the form of a new browser IP obfuscation setting. The setting aims to enhance user privacy by obfuscating their true IP addresses by transparently routing queries for online content through secure proxies. While this may benefit user privacy, it also raises important questions about its impact on libraries and their ability to provide access to electronic resources efficiently, given our reliance on IP-based authentication in licensing.
