OpenVPN CloudConnexa review
A managed business VPN with zero-trust controls, posture checks, and cloud networking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenVPN CloudConnexa is a cloud-delivered networking and remote-access service for businesses managing users, private applications, networks, workforce devices, and IoT devices. It combines VPN connectivity with zero-trust access policies, device-posture checks, DNS filtering, IDS/IPS threat protection, application routing, site-to-site networking, authentication integrations, logging, and API automation. Users connect through OpenVPN Connect, while private networks and application servers connect through OpenVPN or IPsec connectors. Administration is available through the web, with support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and API access.
Pricing is structured around a free plan, a 14-day free trial, and paid tiers. The Essential plan is listed at $7 per seat per month with monthly billing and adds LDAP, SAML, IPsec, SIEM log streaming, a public API, application sharing, and 24/7 priority support. Premium is listed at $9.50 per seat per month and adds SCIM, multiple authentication methods, increased log retention, increased network limits, increased access controls, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Annual billing is available for Essential and Premium, with an annual discount of up to 20%. Enterprise & IoT provides custom usage thresholds, custom pricing, a named account contact, and guided onboarding with a proof of concept.
The platform’s strongest fit is for organizations that need more than encrypted remote access. Device posture checks, microsegmentation, identity-aware policies, audit logs, DNS logs, SIEM streaming, and integrations with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, LDAP, SAML identity providers, SIEM tools, and Terraform support managed access across a mixed environment. Site-to-site networking can use OpenVPN or IPsec, while CloudConnexa API automation supports operational control. Smaller teams seeking a straightforward VPN may find this broader security and networking model more than they need; businesses needing managed zero trust, connected private networks, and deeper administrative controls should consider it.
