Connect to the VPN

Connect to the DuploCloud VPN with the OpenVPN client

DuploCloud integrates with OpenVPN by automatically provisioning VPNs for users added through the DuploCloud Portal. As a DuploCloud user, you can securely access resources within the private network by connecting via the OpenVPN client.

The OpenVPN Access Server only forwards traffic intended for resources within DuploCloud-managed private networks. Traffic to external internet resources does not pass through the VPN tunnel.
