Learn About The OpenVPN Company

James Yonan started the OpenVPN open-source project in 2001 with the release of the first open-source version of OpenVPN in 2002. James set out to create a protocol for a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel program that would be secure, free, fast, and work on standard TCP and UDP protocols across the internet. OpenVPN is the name of the protocol released as open source in 2001. James partnered with Francis Dinha to co-found the OpenVPN, Inc. company. The OpenVPN team provides business enterprise solutions based on the OpenVPN code: Access Server, CloudConnexa, and OpenVPN Connect.
