Configuring Point-to-site remote VPN access

The availability of this feature depends on the license that you use.

If you need to connect to your local site remotely, you can configure the Point-to-site connection to the local site. You can follow the procedure below or watch the video tutorial.

Prerequisites

  • A Site-to-site Open VPN connectivity is configured.

  • The VPN appliance is installed on the local site.

To configure the Point-to-site connection to the local site

  1. In the service console, go to Disaster Recovery > Connectivity.
  2. Click Show properties.
  3. Enable the VPN access to local site option.

  4. Ensure that your user who needs to establish the Point-to-site connection to the local site has:

    • a user account in Cyber Cloud. These credentials are used for authentication in the VPN client. Otherwise, create a user account in Cyber Cloud.

    • a "Company Administrator" or "Cyber Protection" user role.

  5. Configure the OpenVPN client:

    1. Download the OpenVPN client version 2.4.0 or later from the following location https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/.
    2. Install the OpenVPN client on the machine from which you want to connect to the local site.
    3. Click Download configuration for OpenVPN. The configuration file is valid for users in your organization with the "Company Administrator" or "Cyber Protection" user role.
    4. Import the downloaded configuration to OpenVPN.
    5. Log in to the OpenVPN client with your Cyber Cloud user credentials (see step 4 above).
    6. [Optional] If two-factor authentication is enabled for your organization, then you should provide the one-time generated TOTP code.

If you enabled two-factor authentication for your account, you need to re-generate the configuration file and renew it for your existing OpenVPN clients. Users must re-log in to Cyber Cloud to set up two-factor authentication for their accounts.

As a result, your user will be able to connect to machines on the local site.
