Tap into fast, easy client distribution with the Access Server self-service user portal.

Features

We make it easier than ever to get your VPN solution up and running.

Access Server, our original secure networking solution, takes the complexity out of deploying a VPN solution so you can focus on running your business.

  • VPN clients for all devices, operating systems

    No matter which device – laptop, smartphone, tablet, Chromebook – or operating system – Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS, ChromeOS – you and your employees prefer, OpenVPN offers our official easy-to-use OpenVPN Connect client software.

  • Fast, easy client and profile distribution

    OpenVPN takes the complexity out of client and profile distribution with a two-step process: 1) you share the Access Server client web portal link with your users, and, 2) your users log in to the self-service portal to download desktop clients and configuration profiles.

  • Direct, one-step connection for users

    To make connecting as easy as possible we bundle client installation profiles for the most popular business devices – macOS and Windows computers – so users can connect quickly and easily after installation.

FAQs

Access Server provides web services to run both the Admin Web UI and the Client Web UI. To access the Client Web UI, use either the IP address or the hostname of your Access Server. For example:

  • https://123.456.78.90/
  • https://vpn.businessname.com/

The IP address is the external IP address of your server. A custom hostname can be set up using the Admin Web UI and a DNS 'A' record.

Access Server provides bundled clients for Windows and macOS. These bundled clients include connection profiles with the VPN client, OpenVPN Connect, and users can download them from the Client Web UI. They can connect immediately after installing, thanks to the profile configured specifically for your Access Server.

Users can download OpenVPN Connect on mobile devices and easily retrieve a connection profile using the IP address or hostname of your Access Server.

  1. Launch OpenVPN Connect.
  2. Click or tap to add a profile.
