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?
A significant portion of the university's electronic resources are confined to on-campus access because of license arrangements with publishers and content providers. EZproxy facilitates off-campus access to these resources by validating your university identification and presenting your request as if it were originating from an on-campus IP address.
What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?
EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPNs all offer ways to access restricted academic resources off-campus, but they work in very different ways. EZproxy uses IP-based authentication, rerouting your connection so it appears as though you're on the university network. OpenAthens, on the other hand, uses identity-based authentication—meaning you log in once with your institutional credentials, and it grants access based on who you are, not where you're connecting from. VPNs simulate a campus environment by creating a secure tunnel to the university’s internal network, which can be more resource-intensive and less user-friendly.
