Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

RobustVPN 2.0, a VPN cloud platform developed on the basis of RobustVPN 1.0, realizes unified and efficient

management of devices via VPN instance. Private and secure connection between node and manager can be

established through tunnel enciphered by OpenVPN. RobustVPN 2.0 realizes VPN local deployment and provides

cloud experience for users.

Compatible with OpenVPN protocol

support 20,000+ devices connection and data processing

Monitor the running status such as data usage and online rate of device in real time

Display real-time data of devices in graph, with visible information of devices known

Establish VPN tunnels quickly and support multi-user access

Establish a secure and reliable VPN tunnel between users and devices so as to guarantee the security of data

transmission

Interface design focusing on availability and rationality, beauty and simplicity

Set up a private network for users to remotely access devices, addressing the problem that router working in the

cellular network lacks public IP
