Adding a private domain name as a route to a network

Sign Up For OpenVPN Cloud

You can configure OpenVPN Cloud to use one or more domain names as routes to reach a network. You can use a combination of domain names and IP address subnets to configure a network.

If you have networks with conflicting IP address subnets, just use domain names as routes to differentiate those networks (see, User Guide - Remote access to private networks with overlapping IP address space).

Note that while a private domain name can be used as a route to a network, you still need to specify the actual destination for a fully qualified domain name by configuring a DNS record either on your private DNS servers or by adding a DNS record in OpenVPN Cloud.

  1. Access the Domains section and click plus (+) to add a domain name.

  3. Click the checkmark to save the new domain route.
