openvp -vpn access using the "Connect" button

josebash

I noticed a "connect" button right next to the left of admin, and a logout button when you access the OpenVPN link.

I know that this, connect button, it is for making a VPN connection just using the browser without downloading the app.

When I pressed the connect button, the connection keeps looping and not making the connection.

I have tried with the OpenVPN browser extension and it never connects.

any idea what I'm missing?

Hi There,

This particular functionality is already deprecated with release version of Access Server 2.5.0.
You can check our release nots here: https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/release-notes/.

The client web interface now defaults to letting users download the required software to their computers instead of using the connect UI by default.

The connect UI is now considered to be deprecated and to be removed and replaced with a better solution in future releases.

And actually removed on the later version of Access Server which is OpenVPN Access Server 2.7.3.

Removed the ‘connect’ functionality from the client web interface, because it can no longer be supported in current browsers.

So, you are using an outdated version of access server. thus you still see this within your client web UI.
