Let’s get technical: Access Server features & use cases
Access Server is the all-in-one solution to help you protect your business data communications, secure IoT resources, implement access control and network segmentation, and provide encrypted, remote access to on-premise, hybrid, and public cloud resources.
Firewall & Access ControlEasily set access control policies to determine who can access and use your company network and resources.
Follow Zero Trust best practices with granular user control.
Enforce role-based access control with group permissions based on shared characteristics.
Restrict protocol and ports and pinpoint the exact application you need to grant access to.
Prevent access from bad actors with multi-factor authentication (MFA) using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).
Use multiple authentication systems simultaneously, so you can define one default system and optionally configure other systems by group or user. For example, you can use SSO for your employees and local authentication with 2FA for short-term contractors.
ClusteringCluster multiple servers to get the increased availability and load capacity your business needs.
Eliminate the single point of failure (SPOF) by clustering your servers. If an outage happens, another server in the cluster picks up the load.
Reduce connection costs — all servers within a cluster share a single subscription, minimizing cost and maximizing server utilization.
Increase performance with lower IaaS costs by distributing connections among more economical servers and deploying them geographically closer to your employees.
Connect AppEasily connect your workforce with the OpenVPN Connect App.
Connect anyone, from any device. The OpenVPN Connect App is available on Android, Apple, and Microsoft OS (to name a few).
Bundle the Connect App with the connection configuration right from the Access Server portal.
OpenVPN Server with Kernel Acceleration (DCO)Achieve close to wire-speed performance with OpenVPN DCO.
Maintain speed performance through OpenVPN DCO, which incorporates the entire OpenVPN data channel into the kernel module while keeping the control channel outside the kernel.
DCO also leverages multi-core processing power better to achieve higher data transfer speeds.
