OpenVPN Connect is a useful application that allows you to establish a highly secure connection to a VPN server. While it is not a standalone VPN service, it utilizes the OpenVPN protocol to ensure the safety of your data while it moves through the internet. What sets it apart is that it is the official VPN client developed by OpenVPN Inc., giving users assurance of its authenticity. It is commonly used for various purposes such as accessing work files remotely, preventing unauthorized access from hackers, and safeguarding smart devices. Its versatility makes it a popular choice among users.

You have the option to utilize OpenVPN Connect with OpenVPN Cloud, an innovative cloud service that merges virtual networking with essential security features such as firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS), DNS-based content filtering, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA). If you prefer a self-hosted solution, OpenVPN Access Server is the ideal choice. It is suitable for remote access and site-to-site networking, giving you control over access permissions and supporting various user authentication methods like SAML, RADIUS, LDAP, and PAM. Additionally, keep in mind that OpenVPN Connect can connect you to any server or service that operates using the OpenVPN protocol or runs the open source Community edition.

In order to begin using OpenVPN Connect, you will need a special file known as a "connection profile." This file contains the necessary information for the app to connect to the VPN server. You can import this file into the app by either using a .ovpn file or by entering a website address. Your login details and this file or URL will be provided by the VPN service administrator, so be sure to obtain them from them.
