OpenVPN Access Server and OpenVPN Connect Client are the commercial
offerings from OpenVPN Technologies.  We don't support them here, and
the codebase there are somewhat different from the OpenVPN Community
Edition we support here.  However, the Community Edition have all the
features as the Access Server/Connect Client have - and some more.

For the commercial support, please contact the company directly.

Otherwise, feel free to dig into the information about the Community
Edition of OpenVPN here:

<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn>

There are some on-going works to update the Access Server and Connect
Clients to a newer codebase, based upon the community version.
However, there are no publicly known schedules for when or how this
will happen.  And we on the community side are not involved into those
decisions at all.

Having all that said, there has been done a lot in the community
edition to support UTF-8, especially on Windows.  If the commercial
versions have pulled in that support or not, or have implemented
something else; that we don't know anything about at all.  But I
suspect that the Access Server and Connect Client is currently not
UTF-8 capable on Windows.

There should also be no issues using the Community Edition on the
client side against an Access Server installation, if that is an
alternative.

I hope this answers your question better.


kind regards,

David Sommerseth
