Setting up manual IKEv2/OpenVPN connection

Please note: manual OpenVPN or IKEv2 connection can only be established to your organization's private gateway (dedicated server).

There are quite a few reasons why you would choose a manual IKEv2 or OpenVPN connection to NordLayer service instead of the official application:

• Tighter control on what applications get/are installed
• Older operating systems support
• Easier management without the fuss of changing any settings
• Runs better on weaker machines

You can find all the guides for both IKEv2 and OpenVPN manual setups for major operating systems in the General information section.
