Openvpn which is configured in Pfsense Community edition is Openvpn Access Server or Openvpn Cloud Connexa

rajukarthik

Hello,
I'm aware that Openvpn Access server and Openvpn CloudConnexa are SOC2 complaint. My doubt is that the Openvpn which we configure in Community Edition Pfsense firewall is Cloud Connexa or Access server ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Karthik

@rajukarthik its just the normal openvpn community edition.

[2.7.2-RELEASE][admin@test.mydomain.tld]/root: openvpn --version
OpenVPN 2.6.8 amd64-portbld-freebsd14.0 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [PKCS11] [MH/RECVDA] [AEAD] [DCO]
library versions: OpenSSL 3.0.12 24 Oct 2023, LZO 2.10

Yeah it is a bit dated, sure that will update when 2.8 drops.. but its not the access server version.

As to soc2 - As to the just community edition, prob not - since really the user of said edition can pretty much do anything they want with the config, were with the AS and Cloud versions of their server being more strictly controlled in what can be configured.

Those 2 versions are not free, so sure they can get certification of meeting specific standards, etc. But I doubt they would run through such trouble with audits of controls, etc. for something the user might easy override even a config change.

If you really want to make sure its soc2 compliant - I would run either of those on something other than pfsense. I have not heard of anything about being able to run say the as version on pfsense.

I run an as version on one of my vpses - you can run it for free for max of 2 concurrent connections. Which for me is plenty for my use case.
