## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a VPN?

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a securely encrypted internet connection (or "tunnel") to connect devices to business assets over otherwise unsecured networks. VPNs like OpenVPN work by masking your IP address and encrypting your traffic. A VPN is an essential layer of a security protocol that protects company data and employees' personal data, and lets you remotely access network resources and connect branches worldwide. A Zero Trust VPN adds the tenets of Zero Trust on top of that solid VPN foundation.

### What do VPNs do?

VPNs encrypt traffic, protect privacy, and enable secure remote access. A remote-access VPN secures your connection when you work off-site (coffee shop, hotel, airport, or another country), routing sensitive traffic through an encrypted tunnel and disguising your IP address. It also secures against external breaches.

### What is a VPN server?

VPNs route traffic through a private server. With a self-managed solution like [Access Server](https://openvpn.net/access-server/), you can use a physical server or host it in the cloud. Alternatively, choose a managed solution like [CloudConnexa](https://openvpn.net/cloud-vpn/), which uses cloud-based servers managed by OpenVPN. Either way, the VPN routes all traffic through a server.

### What does a business VPN do?

A business VPN creates a secure, encrypted connection over the internet between your devices and your company's network. Unlike a consumer VPN (aimed at personal users protecting traffic or accessing content), a business VPN is built for remote, secure access to corporate resources with centralized control.

### What VPN should I use for my business?

OpenVPN offers two solutions for small, medium, and enterprise businesses. **Access Server** is best if you prefer an on-prem VPN server or want to manage your full infrastructure (including via a cloud server). Choose **CloudConnexa** if you prefer a cloud-delivered, managed service. Our [product comparison](https://openvpn.net/product-comparison/) can help you choose.

### How much does a VPN cost for a small business?

OpenVPN has plans starting at **$7 per month per concurrent connection**, plus a free trial to get started. See a customized price based on your business size and number of connections on the [pricing page](https://openvpn.net/access-server/pricing/).

### Can I use a VPN for free?

Yes. OpenVPN offers up to **5 free seats** and a free trial for CloudConnexa, and **2 free connections** for Access Server — with full functionality on both the free trial and free connections.

### What is a Zero Trust VPN?

A Zero Trust VPN uses a VPN as the foundation of Zero Trust network access. Both Access Server and CloudConnexa can implement a Zero Trust solution that secures your resources while limiting access to only what is necessary.

### What is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

Per Gartner, "ZTNA is a product or service that creates an identity- and context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications." It hides apps from discovery and restricts access via a trust broker that verifies users by identity, context, and policy — stopping lateral movement and reducing the attack surface. ZTNA relies on least-privilege access, and a VPN lets you enforce those tenets.

### Where can I find OpenVPN pricing?

OpenVPN has transparent, flexible pricing starting at just **$7 per connection per month**. See a customized price based on your business size on the [pricing page](https://openvpn.net/access-server/pricing/).

### Does OpenVPN allow cancellation without notice?

Yes — cancel anytime, and unused funds are credited to your account for future usage. For refunds, contact sales@openvpn.net.

### Where can I find OpenVPN technical support?

Technical support is available 24/7 through our [support portal](https://support.openvpn.com/hc/en-us).
