OpenVPN Connect also supports client-side scripting, importing connection profiles directly from Access Server, and connecting with a server-locked profile. OpenVPN Connect can store many profiles for different servers, but you can only actively connect to one at a time. Limiting connections to one server ensures connectivity and traffic flow. Therefore, it is very easy to make a mistake and break connectivity or cause traffic to flow to the wrong destination. Connecting to two servers at the same time requires two different adjustments to the routing table on the client computer.

It was purposely designed to not support connections to two or more servers simultaneously. OpenVPN Connect only supports one active VPN tunnel at a time. Also shown are downloads for other platforms as well as connection profiles.

Once you have signed in, the recommended OpenVPN Connect app for your device displays at the top.

Open a browser and enter your Access Server IP address or the custom hostname if you have set that up (recommended).

OpenVPN Connect is our official client app and your users can download it directly from your client UI, pre-configured to connect with your server, or download it separately from our website and import a connection profile. Your installation of OpenVPN Access Server includes a copy of OpenVPN Connect, which is a separate package called openvpn-as-bundled-clients that is updated when new versions of OpenVPN Connect are released. A client app is required to capture the traffic you want to send through the OpenVPN tunnel, encrypt it, pass it on to the server, and decrypt the return traffic. Therefore, you must install a client app to handle communication with Access Server. The OpenVPN protocol is not built into macOS. This document provides information on using OpenVPN Connect as well as alternative solutions. We recommend using OpenVPN Connect, which is pre-configured to connect with your Access Server.

Each macOS device needs a client application to connect with your OpenVPN Access Server.
