You can add as many users and devices as you like; only the subscribed number of connections can be in use at once. Per-connection rates below reflect **annual billing**; monthly billing is also available, and yearly billing saves more as you scale. ## Plans | Plan | Price (USD) | Price (EUR) | Connections | Best for | | -------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------- | | **Free** | Free forever | Free forever | Up to 2 | Trying it out, very small setups | | **Growth** | $7 / connection / mo | €6.60 / connection / mo | 3 and up | Most businesses | | **Enterprise & IoT** | Custom | Custom | 2,000+ | High volume, IoT, custom needs | Example, billed yearly: 6 connections = **€39.60 per month**; 10 connections = **$70 per month**. - **Free** includes instant access to **all features**, forever — no credit card required. - **Growth** includes a **14-day free trial** (credit card required for the trial). - There is **no difference in speed or performance** between Free and paid plans. ## What's Included Every Access Server plan — including Free — includes the **full feature set**: - Self-hosted OpenVPN server with administration and user web portals - Cluster configuration for high scale and redundancy - DCO support for high speeds; works with OpenVPN- and IPsec-compatible routers and clients - OpenVPN Connect for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS - Authentication: SAML, LDAP, RADIUS, PAM, username/password, MFA, custom systems, and third-party plugins (used simultaneously); SCIM support - Security: FIPS-compliant mode, air-gapped/offline installs, device authorization, certificates locked to devices, access control, firewall, secure web gateway (SWG), IDS/IPS - Routing: application-based domain routing, overlapping IP support, application sharing, remote access and site-to-site - Automation & logs: API, Terraform (IaC), remote logging, access visibility, DNS logs, configuration audit logs **Enterprise & IoT** adds: custom pricing and volume discounts, guided onboarding & POC with solutions architects, enterprise-grade compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), and 24/7 priority technical support. ## Access Server or CloudConnexa? Both solutions share nearly the same capabilities. The core difference is the deployment model: **Access Server is self-hosted** in your own environment, while **CloudConnexa is delivered as a cloud service** (private networking and security as a service across 30+ worldwide PoPs). A few capabilities are only partial on CloudConnexa (IPv6, location-context policy, device posture).

Access Server licenses are based on the number of **simultaneous, active connections** — the number of devices that can be actively connected to the server at the same time. ### Do I need a credit card to try Access Server? No credit card is required for the **free plan** (limited connections). The **free trial** does require a credit card to start. ### Is there a limit to the number of devices or users? No — add as many devices and users as you like. Only the **subscribed number of connections** can be in use at any one time. ### What if I don't know how many connections my company needs?
