Hi @ron6bbd1a73194fd77e94191af

I think BOVPN is just OpenVPN-server underneath, so that means you can copy the certificates out and install OpenVPN-client on your server to make it connect to WatchGuard.

There are some older configuration examples here: https://serverfault.com/questions/103926/is-there-a-real-way-to-connect-to-watchguards-vpn-from-linux

But you might want to ask WatchGuard, since you’re paying for support there.
