VPN connection

You can establish secure remote access to the blue'Log without additional configuration or an additional OpenVPN router on site. This can be useful for an energy trading interface, for example. The OpenVPN client is integrated into the blue'Log, and the OpenVPN blue'Log XM/XC license activates this function. To configure this setting, upload an OpenVPN configuration file to the blue'Log web interface. For more information on the license and examples of the configuration files, see the OpenVPN data sheet at   https://www.meteocontrol.com/en/services/downloads.
