Owner

An "Owner" is a special type of User that has the right to administer and configure all aspects of the WPC. The Owner is the person whose identity is associated with the email that was used to signup for the CloudConnexa service. Only an Owner can manage the billing and subscription aspects of the service.

A cloud-based solution tailored to meet your Virtual Private Networking needs.

With Cloud Connexa your business gets a cloud-delivered service that integrates virtual networking and critical security functions in a secure overlay network that’s easy to deploy and manage. Now you can connect your applications, private networks, workforce, and IoT devices — without complex, hard-to-scale hardware.

Your dedicated secure overlay network enables Zero Trust access to all applications and the internet as well as site-to-site networking while enforcing identity-based access control, preventing malicious network activity, and providing protection by blocking malicious website access.

The Cloud Connexa full-mesh network, created using patent-pending technologies, is accessible from 30+ worldwide locations.

Subscribing to our service and choosing your account name creates your own WPC within our secure CloudConneca worldwide network. You administer your WPC by signing in to https://cloud.openvpn.net.

Site-to-Site

Want to set up a Full-Mesh site-to-site private worldwide network?

It just takes three steps:

  1. Add Networks and their IP address ranges using the Administration Portal.

  2. Install the Connector software on Linux, Windows, or macOS host(s) in your Cloud or on-premises data centers and connect them to any one of our worldwide Regions.

  3. Enable routing and add static routes for reachability.

Remote Access

Want to add remote access?

Providing remote access to your WPC is as simple as adding your employees as CloudConnexa Users or if your company uses a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 compatible Identity Provider, just configure CloudConnexa to work with SAML for user authentication. This allows them to use OpenVPN Connect Client on all the popular desktop and smartphone operating systems (Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows) to access private resources by connecting to any of the Regions regardless of the geographic location where the private resource is located. You can increase the reliability and network performance of remote access by adding multiple Connectors that connect to different WPC Regions that are closer to your distributed workforce.

Remote Desktop

How about using the WPC to securely access Remote Desktop, file, and web servers without access to the complete private network?

You can do that by configuring Hosts to represent your servers in the Administration portal. Install the connector software on the server and access them by their WPC IP address after connecting to CloudConnexa.

Restricted Access

Want to restrict access?

Full-Mesh networking can be turned OFF to implement fine-grained, least-privilege access and network segmentation — not only for user access, but also for access between various Networks and Hosts. Services can be defined for Networks and Hosts that can represent either a subnet, an individual IP address, or even individual services (ports/protocol) on a specific IP address or set of IP addresses. Specific User Groups, Hosts, and Networks can be granted access to one or more of these Services. All service management is carried out from the CloudConnexa web portal.
