Last modified:

You can establish secure remote access to the blueLog without additional configuration or an additional OpenVPN router on site. This is useful for applications such as an energy trading interface. The OpenVPN client is integrated into the blueLog.

Configure OpenVPN

To configure OpenVPN, upload an OpenVPN configuration file to the bluelog web interface. For more information on the license and examples of the configuration files, see the OpenVPN license bluelog Neo data sheet.

Prerequisites

  • OpenVPN license

  • Configuration file (.OVPN, .CONF) with embedded certificates and keys.

  • Alternatively, you can upload a ZIP file with the required certificates and keys.

    • Optional: To configure certificate encryption, include an xy.pass file in the ZIP archive.

    • Ensure the .CONF file contains the following entry: askpass xy.pass.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Settings > VPN Connection > Select file.

  2. Select the configuration file > Upload.

  3. When the file has been successfully uploaded, activate the toggle image-20260120-085032.png Activate OpenVPN.

  4. The connection is established when the green check mark appears next to Connection status.
