Description

OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution you deploy into your own environment — on-prem or your AWS, Azure, or GCP account — so tunnel traffic and configuration never touch a third-party network. Access is enforced by application, not IP or subnet: each user reaches only the app they're entitled to, identified by domain name, with no visibility into anything else. That structurally blocks lateral movement — there's no connectivity path for a breach to exploit. With Access Server Link, deployment is a guided setup (hostname, cloud, region, password) with SSL certificates auto-provisioned and renewed, removing manual cert management as an attack surface. Entitlements tie to hostname, so they survive IP changes and autoscaling without rework. Your instance stays fully under your control, preserving the data ownership and audit posture required for HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR — full sovereignty over the control plane, with SaaS-level simplicity. The admin portal replaces SSH-based management: users, certificates, and access policies are configured through a browser, so shell access isn't required, shrinking your attack surface. The Zero Trust App Broker mediates every connection through a placeholder IP scoped to one authorized application — users never learn the real destination, so a compromised credential can't be used to probe or discover other systems. This enforces least privilege by design, not just by policy that can drift or be misconfigured. Client apps span Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, so identity- and application-based controls apply consistently across devices. Deployment runs through preconfigured templates on AWS, Azure, and GCP, giving security teams repeatable, auditable rollouts.

Description

Secure your organization from costly data breaches while meeting essential compliance requirements, such as ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA. Our software-based VPN solution is easy to deploy alongside your existing systems, giving you a powerful and adaptable tool for securing your enterprise network. Our VPN Professional plan allows your team to connect securely to your local networks and cloud-based services. And with granular segmented control over who can connect to dedicated VPN servers and Gateways (logical groupings of dedicated servers), you can ensure your staff can access the resources they need (but only what they need). All of our business plans use robust industry-standard AES-256 or ChaCha20 encryption to ensure your data remains secure. You can further strengthen your organization's security with enforced two-factor authentication (2FA) and seamless login through single sign-on (SSO) with SCIM support for automated user provisioning. Our global high-performance (mainly 10 Gbps) server network is one of the largest in the world, and is part of the trusted Proton ecosystem — a suite of fully open source, end-to-end encrypted services built by the creators of Proton Mail and designed specifically to keep your business secure.
