Technical Details

what runs on :10102

EZproxy provides web-proxy access to publisher and other web resources, commonly using URL rewriting or proxy hostnames after user authentication. Its web traffic uses HTTP over TCP and can be configured for HTTPS; encryption is not guaranteed by the port number. IANA lists 10102 for both TCP and UDP, but UDP is not typical for EZproxy's web-proxy function. The listening port is configurable, so 10102 does not imply a distinct protocol or feature.

security overview

EZproxy is intended to be reachable by library users, but access should be controlled by the institution's authentication rules and the proxy should not be left open for arbitrary forwarding. Use HTTPS for user sessions and credentials, keep the software maintained, and check unexpected listeners because this port is not a commonly observed default.
