Access Server admin UI
Open the admin console on port 943, manage users, review configuration, and apply Access Server license settings when needed.
Self-Hosted OpenVPN Access Server
Your own personal VPN endpoint on a server you control.
OpenVPN Access Server provides a familiar VPN admin UI, user portal, and downloadable client profiles. On Kumo2, we provision a Linux server, launch Access Server with Docker, configure a NAT full-tunnel profile, and create the admin and VPN user credentials you choose at checkout. This is intended for personal VPN use, not resale, node pools, or abusive tunnelling.

Features
NAT full-tunnel VPN
Client traffic exits through the VM's public IP, matching Kumo's anti-spoofing model and avoiding routed client subnet complexity.

Frequently asked questions
What is self-hosted OpenVPN Access Server?
It is OpenVPN's server product running inside your own VM, with a web admin UI and client portal.
What credentials do I choose?
You set the admin password for the fixed openvpn administrator and a separate VPN username and password for client login.
Does this support routed client subnets?
No. The first version supports NAT full-tunnel mode only, so traffic leaves through the VM public IP.
Are there license limits?
Yes. OpenVPN Access Server is governed by OpenVPN's license terms and may require a license for more than the included free connections.
Can I resell it as a VPN service?
No. Kumo permits personal VPN use, but public resale, node pools, abuse evasion, spam, scraping, fraud, and attack traffic are not allowed.
Ready to deploy your own OpenVPN Access Server?
Spin it up on a server you control. We handle provisioning and Docker — you keep the keys.
