OpenVPN Access Server with Let’s Encrypt CA

OpenVPN Access Server is a set of tools that simplify the rapid deployment of a remote access VPN server. It is based on the popular OpenVPN open source software, allowing you to work with a configured VPN server using cross-platform client software. The built-in web administration panel provides an ability to setup all possible OpenVPN configurations. It can be complemented with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate with automatic renewal.

  • Secure Remote Access provides an access to the private network within in the Cloud:
    • private cloud network is limited with the same isolated environment group or with the same region where OpenVPN Access Server is installed
    • clients will use OpenVPN node as a query forwarder to the DNS server of Jelastic platform that makes environment and container hostnames associated with their private IP addresses
  • Pick Let's Encrypt Add-On installation to secure OpenVPN Access Server web admin insterface with help of valid SSL certificate.
