Hi Jim,

We here at Lynn University use EZProxy as well for years now and it seems to be working fine.

Subject: [SECURITY] Remote Access for Library Resources Alternatives

We are currently looking for an alternative solution for off campus users to access Library resources. There are many 
complaints about the difficulty of setting up their VPN clients and the Library would like to look at something that 
may be an easier solution. Since many of the library resources require the user to be coming from our University 
subnet, I have looked at a couple of options. One of them being EZProxy, from OCLC.org

Does anyone have any experience with this product or perhaps have an alternative solution in place?

Thanks,
Jim Miller
