What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Cyprus University of Technology’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Cyprus Technology account, you get the same access as you would on campus—fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Why use OpenAthens?
Some of Cyprus University of Technology’s most valuable digital resources are only available to users on the campus network. OpenAthens makes those resources available off-campus too—just sign in with your Cyprus Technology credentials, and you’ll be recognized as an authorized user no matter where you are.
What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?
The key difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and a VPN lies in how they handle authentication and user access. EZproxy works by rewriting links and proxying your session through a campus IP address. OpenAthens uses federated identity management to authenticate users based on their university credentials, offering a more scalable and secure solution. A VPN creates a private connection to the university’s network, which is useful for accessing internal systems, but overkill for simply reading journals or using library databases.
