Deploy a Network OpenVPN Connector for a Configured Network

Abstract

Deploy an OpenVPN Network Connector for an existing CloudConnexa Network — select your provider type (Linux, VPS, router, or IaaS), download or run the connector install script, and test connectivity to bring the Network online.

Overview

Deploy an OpenVPN Network Connector to connect an existing private Network to CloudConnexa. If you're creating a new Network, you can deploy its Connector as part of the Network configuration. For more information, refer to About Networks.

For an existing Network, you can start the deployment from either:

  • The Connectors tab on the Network's detail page.

  • Networks → Connectors, as described in this procedure.

The deployment steps vary depending on where you install the Connector. CloudConnexa provides deployment options for operating systems, public cloud IaaS providers, virtual private servers (VPS), and supported routers.

Before you begin

Ensure that you've already created the Network and its Network Connector in CloudConnexa. For more information about Network Connectors and how they provide connectivity to a private Network, refer to About Network Connectors.

  7. Select Next.

    • CloudConnexa checks whether the Connector is online.

  8. Complete the deployment based on the test result:

Once the Connector is online, CloudConnexa can route traffic between your WPC and the private Network based on your routing and access configuration.
