OpenVPN Access Server

You will be able to access things that live in the office (e.g. Gitlab, QA instances), but in this setup Arryved pays for any traffic that goes to the Internet... so if you want to watch Netflix, you should disconnect from the VPN.

Any business-related Internet traffic is totally acceptable and should be conducted on the VPN.

User Setup

  1. Be sure any other VPN software you already have is disconnected.
  2. In your browser, navigate to the VPN server.
  3. Click the "Sign In via SAML" button:

  4. Follow the browser redirect for Google login, selecting your @arryved.com account if prompted.

  6. Follow the installation process for your downloaded client.
  7. Start the OpenVPN client.

  9. Follow the browser redirect for Google login, selecting your @arryved.com account if prompted.
