OpenVPN One-Click Installation


Set up your very own personal OpenVPN server with Evoxt with only a single click with our One-Click Installation Script.

OpenVPN is one of the industry standards for virtual private network protocol. OpenVPN help to encrypt all network traffic, masking the user's IP address and protecting users from untrusted networks. In a business environment, OpenVPN is also used to provide a secure connection to the company's network, creating a private network between the user and the company. By masking the user's IP address and encrypting the network, OpenVPN also allows users to bypass geographic restrictions and also allows users to surf websites using public wifi while keeping their data private.

The OpenVPN installed with Evoxt's One-Click Installation will be the OpenVPN script by Nyr due to its simplicity to configure users and profiles.
