In this video I set up OpenVPN Access Server in an Ubuntu 26.04 VM. I show how DCO (Data Channel Offload) closes the speed gap with WireGuard, then create user groups with access rules so each user only reaches the services they need.
This video is sponsored by OpenVPN. All thoughts and experiences are my own.

π Things to know before you start
DCO needs the kernel's OVPN driver. That driver isn't in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, so use 26.04.
I had to use a VM because an LXC hit tunneling issues.
If your ISP doesn't allow port forwarding (CG-NAT, or carrier-grade NAT), this setup won't work.
Forward ports 443 and 1194 to your Access Server.
I had to lower the MTU (maximum transmission unit) from 1420 to 1350 to keep connections stable.
The free Access Server license includes 2 connections. CloudConnexa, OpenVPN's cloud-delivered ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) service, offers up to 5 free seats.

The JetKVM Mini and Mini W give you full keyboard, video, and mouse control of a machine from your browser, all the way down to the BIOS. Boot menus, UEFI settings, and OS installs work just like youβre sitting in front of it.
In this video, I go over the hardware and walk through the web interface, including virtual media from the TF card (booting a Proxmox ISO straight from the device), paste text, Wake on LAN, video codec options, the mouse jiggler, MQTT/Home Assistant integration, and more. I also show the cloud dashboard Iβm self-hosting for managing multiple KVMs.
Pricing:
JetKVM Mini (Ethernet): $39 ($33 each in a 3-pack)
JetKVM Mini W (Wi-Fi): $42 ($36 each in a 3-pack)
More details: https://jetkvm.com/blog/introducing-jetkvm-mini
Disclosure: JetKVM sent these units to me for review. No money changed hands, and JetKVM had no input on this video and didnβt see it before you did.
Would you self-host your own JetKVM UI and API? Let me know in the comments.

AI is being used to build clean room, open source alternatives to Adobe's whole lineup, and I put FilmCraft to work on a real edit. We also get into why Adobe's subscription model made this inevitable, how the black box reverse engineering method works, and the huge wave of AI-assisted game recompilations and crossover mods. There are real concerns here too, especially for artists, so we cover those. Links to everything mentioned are below.
