Detailed Capabilities
Connection Support
- Provides layer three virtual private networking using OpenVPN protocol.
- OpenVPN protocol uses SSL/TLS with client and server certificates to perform key exchange and mutual authentication.
- OpenVPN is firewall and web proxy friendly as encrypted traffic is tunneled via UDP or TCP.
Routing Support
- Direct Connection (server set in SNAT mode) – VPN clients initiate all communication in this mode.
- Routed Connection (server in static route as a gateway to VPN clients) – VPN clients and devices on the internal network initiate connections.
- Site-to-Site routing using a suitable Linux-based system configured as a gateway at one site with a routed connection to the VPN server at the other site.
Security Protections
- You can configure software firewalls with access control rules to specify which user or group has access to what IP addresses or subnets and whether VPN clients can route to each other.
- Control access to services by IP address, protocol, and ports.
- Compliant with FIPS restrictions.
Availability, Failover
- Multiple Access Servers can be configured to form a Cluster allowing a VPN client to connect to any of the available Access Servers using the same credentials.
- UCARP-based primary-secondary failover for LAN deployments.
Client OS Support
- OpenVPN Connect clients are available for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. OpenVPN open source client is included in all major Linux distributions.
Ease of Client Deployment
- Users can download pre-configured client software, or connection profiles for their device directly from your deployed Access Server’s User Web Portal.
Authentication Methods
- Supports multiple simultaneous authentication methods using local user database, Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM), LDAP, secure LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, and RADIUS.
- X.509 certificate PKI solution is built-in. Integration with external PKI is available.
- Hardware address checking (UUID or MAC) as an additional security method is supported.
- Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) multi-factor authentication is supported natively in Access Server. Custom extensions for MFA are also possible, such as the one for Duo Security's authentication solutions. Hardware tokens are supported in OpenVPN Connect.
