Two New Upgrades to the Access Server Portal
|
Take advantage of the AWS Launcher and the Support Answer Bot.
OpenVPN has rolled out two great new features in the Access Server Portal to save you time and get you the answers you need faster than ever.
With the AWS Launcher, users can now initiate Access Server deployment on AWS and manage subscriptions in a single place: from the AS Portal.
Here’s how to get started:
|
- Sign in to the Access Server Portal.
- Create a subscription.
- Click Get Access Server.
- Select AWS.
- Follow Launcher instructions.
|
A second new Portal feature is the Support Answer Bot. Users no longer have to navigate to the support portal or use other communication channels to get in touch with OpenVPN. You can now initiate a chat with OpenVPN support directly from the Access Server Portal, just as you can from the OpenVPN website.
To talk to us, simply click the Need Some Help widget in the Access Server Portal, and start a conversation with OpenVPN.
