The VPN – Virtual Private Network service is designed to create a secure channel between the client’s systems and the infrastructures or servers located in Webminds’ datacenters.
This service enhances security and privacy by creating a path that isolates servers exposed to the internet, using private IP addressing accessible only by the client. A VPN is an ideal complement for dedicated environments such as Cloud Servers or Bare Metal (physical) Servers.
To securely access your server, choose your operating system and download the corresponding VPN client using the access credentials provided by our team. Below are the steps to configure the VPN in a Windows environment using OpenVPN.
