	OpenVPN Access Server is amazing, free (2 license) and user friendly VPN service which can be installed on any Linux machine and used as much as needed without additional cost, logs can be deleted and only the owner of the server see the traffic which makes it even better and safer. The installation and configuration of the Access Server is very easy and can be done in easy 7 steps.

	OpenVPN Access Server (OpenVPN-AS) is a set of installation and configuration tools that simplify the rapid deployment of a VPN remote access solution. It is based on the popular OpenVPN open-source software, making the deployed VPN immediately compatible with OpenVPN client software across multiple user platforms. The server configurations options supported are a carefully selected subset of a quite large set of possible OpenVPN configurations. Thus, OpenVPN Access Server streamlines the configuration and management of an OpenVPN-based secure remote access deployment.
