What is EZproxy?

EZproxy is a web proxy server that enables authorized users (students, faculty, and staff) to remotely access the university's electronic resources from anywhere in the world. With EZproxy, you can access these resources just as you would on-campus, ensuring that you have the information you need at your fingertips, whether you're studying at home, conducting research in a coffee shop, or traveling abroad.

Why use EZproxy?

Numerous electronic resources offered by the university are limited to on-campus usage due to contractual agreements with publishers and content suppliers. EZproxy enables you to connect to these resources from off-campus sites by authenticating your university login and simulating your request as originating from an on-campus IP address.

What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?

While all three systems—EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN—help extend access to university resources beyond the campus, they differ in how they authenticate users. EZproxy relies on IP masking to make remote users appear to be on campus. OpenAthens uses a modern, federated identity system to verify individual users through single sign-on. VPNs route your entire internet connection through the university's network, which can offer broader access but may also slow down your connection or raise security concerns for non-academic browsing.
