It’s Official: Hexnode and OpenVPN Partnership

OpenVPN® Cloud takes the complexity and high cost of building and managing a secure network for your entire organization with a cloud-based solution that’s easy to deploy. Our unique cloud-based virtual networking platform, with built-in security functions, is offered as a service. This solution delivers secure remote access to private resources, SaaS applications, and the internet, as well as secure site-to-site networking and effective content filtering. This ensures your distributed workforce, servers, network devices, IoT/IIoT devices, and applications across your business have instant access to the services they need, quickly and easily, while protecting them from cyberattacks.

Due to the widespread adoption of endpoints within corporate settings, pushing and configuring VPN applications across all company-issued and BYOD devices is proving to drain IT teams. To reduce the time and energy devoted to deploying secure network connectivity apps, OpenVPN is partnering with Hexnode.  

Hexnode, an award-winning cloud-based Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution, was developed with the mission of helping enterprises manage their device fleet. Recognizing the value of corporate data and witnessing the emergence of BYODs, COPEs, and COBOs, Hexnode has been in an endeavor of introducing intelligent technologies to safeguard devices against threats and thefts. It offers comprehensive mobility management software compatible with all major platforms, including Android, Windows, iOS, macOS, Fire OS, and Apple TVs. Hexnode, recognized for its enthusiastic support crew, offers a free trial for those interested in giving it a shot.

The partnership between Hexnode and OpenVPN gives administrators the ability to remotely push OpenVPN applications across their entire device fleet. Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS operating systems are supported, and app settings for iOS and MacOS platforms can be easily configured in a single effort.

OpenVPN Access Server, our self-hosted solution, also works with the OpenVPN Connect Client available on Hexnode Marketplace. Access Server simplifies the rapid deployment of a secure remote access solution with a web-based graphic user interface and built-in OpenVPN Connect Client installer. Like CloudConnexa, Access Server is based on the market-proven OpenVPN protocol and trusted by some of the world’s most renowned brands for its unmatched flexibility, scalability, and ease of use.

The Hexnode partnership makes OpenVPN® Cloud, already known as the “easy button” for securing digital communication across an entire virtual enterprise network with a wide-area private cloud (WPC), even easier to deploy and manage. 

Unlike older approaches that require a mixed bag of networking and security products, the CloudConnexa solution consists of a simplified, cloud-delivered service for a fraction of the cost — making it ideal for small and midsized organizations and their remote workforces.
