Integration
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to OpenVPN
Secure login (MFA/2FA) for VPN access & user authentication
Introduction
Businesses and remote teams rely on OpenVPN to establish secure connections to internal networks, cloud systems, and sensitive resources. As VPN access often serves as a gateway to critical infrastructure, protecting login credentials and access points is essential.
ProID secures OpenVPN access with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), ensuring that only verified users can connect to your network. Through seamless integration with OpenVPN’s authentication flow, ProID provides strong protection against unauthorized access, stolen credentials, and VPN session hijacking.
About OpenVPN?
OpenVPN is a widely used virtual private network (VPN) solution that enables secure remote access to internal networks, cloud infrastructure, and business-critical systems. It is trusted by organizations to connect remote employees and external partners safely over the internet.
Key features include:
Encrypted remote access – Secure communication between users and internal systems
Cross-platform support – Works across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
Scalability & flexibility – Easily deployed for small teams or large enterprise networks
Since OpenVPN serves as a secure entry point to sensitive systems, enforcing MFA authentication is essential to prevent unauthorized access and protect organizational data.
Common Security Risks
- 81% of hacking-related breaches are caused by stolen or weak passwords – making secure OpenVPN login essential for protecting network access.
- A compromised OpenVPN account can expose internal systems, cloud infrastructure, and confidential business data.
- Reusing passwords across OpenVPN, email, and remote tools significantly increases the attack surface and risk of unauthorized access.
- Phishing and social engineering attacks often target VPN credentials—especially among remote employees and IT administrators without MFA protection.
How ProID Solves Them
- Eliminates password-based risks – ProID supports passwordless login to OpenVPN using smart cards or mobile MFA, protecting against stolen or reused credentials.
- Secure MFA/2FA for every login – Even if VPN login data is compromised, attackers can’t access the network without a second authentication factor.
- Native SAML integration with OpenVPN – ProID enables seamless and secure login to OpenVPN with no extra steps or delays. Users authenticate once and gain protected access to internal systems.

What is SAML and why does it matter?
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a secure login standard that allows users to log in once and access multiple cloud services like Pipedrive – without entering a password every time.
In a typical CRM environment, each user needs to remember a separate password. With SAML, identity is verified once by your Identity Provider (ProID), and users are instantly authenticated into Pipedrive.
Benefits of using SAML with ProID
- Centralized identity management
- Seamless login experience with MFA
- Strong protection against phishing and password theft
- Single Sign-On across multiple services
