What is OpenAthens?
With OpenAthens, members of the Hellenic American University – HAEC College community can access licensed digital resources both on and off campus. It works behind the scenes to verify your Hellenic American University login, giving you seamless access to the same academic materials you’d normally use while connected to the campus network.
Why use OpenAthens?
Because of publisher restrictions, online academic resources at Hellenic American University – HAEC College often require users to be on the university network. OpenAthens bypasses that limitation by using your Hellenic American University credentials to authenticate access—so whether you're on campus or not, your access stays the same.
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.
