Richweb, based just outside Richmond, Virginia, is a technology solutions provider specializing in cloud, managed services, and web hosting. With their own datacenter and a focus on engineered, enterprise-grade IT solutions, Richweb supports small to medium-sized businesses with everything from infrastructure management to secure connectivity.
As a trusted managed services provider, Richweb knows that a secure VPN isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s critical. But when it came to choosing the right VPN solution for their clients, they faced a major roadblock: the products they’d used in the past, whether commercial or open-source, didn’t offer a way to let clients test the software before committing to a purchase.
For Richweb, that lack of flexibility created a barrier. Clients wanted to experience the product firsthand — but without a trial option, it was hard to build trust or demonstrate value up front.
They needed a solution that gave their customers the confidence to invest in secure remote access — and they needed a way for them to try it, risk-free.
Richweb found the solution with Access Server.
With two free VPN connections, no data limits, and no expiration, Access Server gave Richweb exactly what they were looking for: a full-featured VPN that could be tested internally — and then offered to clients as a no-risk trial.
After testing Access Server in-house and seeing its enterprise-ready performance, Richweb began offering the same experience to customers. Clients could test-drive OpenVPN’s secure connectivity without obligation, and when they were ready, Richweb could easily scale them to the right license.
That seamless path from trial to full deployment has helped Richweb set themselves apart in a competitive market.
Allowing their clients to test a secure VPN with no commitment has strengthened Richweb’s offering. They trust Access Server to deliver — and their clients trust Richweb because they’ve experienced it for themselves.
Access Server’s flexibility, paired with Richweb’s expert managed services, creates a win-win. Clients get a secure, proven VPN solution tailored to their needs — and Richweb gets the confidence of delivering a product they’ve already vetted.
