Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What OpenVPN does
OpenVPN is both an open source VPN protocol and a set of commercial products from OpenVPN Inc. CloudConnexa is the hosted service, where the company runs VPN infrastructure across regional points of presence, while Access Server and the community edition are installed and operated on the customer's own servers. Businesses use it mainly for remote access to internal networks.
What an outage looks like
VPN clients fail to connect or reconnect in a loop against one region while other regions work, since CloudConnexa is deployed city by city. Sessions drop and internal applications reached over the tunnel become unreachable, which usually looks like the application being down rather than the VPN. The administration console may be unavailable while established tunnels keep passing traffic normally.
What to do about it
Check status.openvpn.com, which lists CloudConnexa as individual regional components including Ashburn, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and around twenty more, so an incident in one city is visible rather than global. Identify which region your network connects through before assuming a full outage, since connecting via a different region is often the fastest workaround. A self-hosted Access Server is not covered by that page, because you operate it.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says OpenVPN is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request OpenVPN's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where OpenVPN publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
