Introduction

OpenVPN is a widely used VPN solution that enables secure remote access to corporate networks. However, traditional password-based authentication is no longer sufficient to protect against phishing, credential theft, and brute-force attacks.

With ProID, you can implement multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA) for OpenVPN, ensuring only authorized users can connect. Our solution integrates via RADIUS, making deployment seamless while significantly enhancing security.

What is OpenVPN?

OpenVPN is an open-source VPN solution that enables secure and encrypted remote access to corporate networks and cloud environments. It is widely used by businesses, IT administrators, and security-conscious organizations.

 

  • Key features of OpenVPN include:
    Secure tunneling and encryption – Protects data transmission across networks
  • Cross-platform support – Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
  • Scalability & flexibility – Suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises

 

While OpenVPN provides strong encryption and tunneling, it still requires robust authentication to prevent unauthorized access, making MFA integration essential.

Common Security Risks:

  • Password-based authentication is vulnerable – Phishing and credential leaks are common threats
  • Unauthorized VPN access – Attackers can exploit weak login credentials
  • Compliance requirements – Regulations like NIS2, GDPR, and SOC2 mandate strong authentication

How ProID Solves Them:

  • MFA/2FA for OpenVPN – Secure authentication for remote users
  • RADIUS-based integration – Seamless deployment with OpenVPN authentication
  • Passwordless authentication – Use smart cards, mobile MFA, or FIDO2 security keys
