“OpenVPN 2.6 with DCO brings the data handling to the kernel for optimum performance,” says Johan Draaisma, Senior Product Manager at OpenVPN. “This upgrade has major implications. We already see the benefits of having data handling in the kernel on CloudConnexa™ [formerly known as OpenVPN Cloud]. Having DCO on one side already helps, having it on both sides is ideal. And customers using a DCO enabled client connected to CloudConnexa will be among the first to experience the performance benefits of kernel data handling on both sides of the connection. Users of OpenVPN Access Server will also be getting the DCO update; our team is working to integrate it as soon as possible.”
Whether you’re connecting your team to IoT or a remote workforce, this update means users can now connect to the company’s network with lightning-fast speeds, without sacrificing security.
