What is EZproxy?

As a web proxy server, EZproxy facilitates remote access to the university's online resources for approved users, such as students, faculty, and staff, from any part of the world. By using EZproxy, you can effortlessly obtain these resources in the same manner as on-campus access, making sure you have essential information at your disposal, whether you are learning from home, engaging in research at a café, or exploring foreign lands.

Why use EZproxy?

The university's electronic resources are often restricted to on-campus access as a result of licensing agreements with publishers and content providers. EZproxy helps you access these resources from remote locations by verifying your university credentials and making your request appear to come 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.
