Summary

Quick connect is a feature, which lets you quickly set up an OpenVPN network. It is a hybrid between Remote Access and RMS VPN hubs. The main advantages compared to Remote Access - you can add more third-party devices by using .ovpn files, and compared to RMS VPN hubs - it can be set up much faster.

Overview
