How does the VPN work?

You download the software either from our site or the manufacturer site.

Then, you use OpenVPN or Tunnelblick to  create a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection which securely connects your computer over the internet to our VPN license server. Then, when you’re connected to our VPN, you start the software and they ping our server to make sure you can run the software. This way, you can obtain licensing to run VPN versions of different software packages we have here on fxphd. You must be already connected to the internet in order to access the VPN.

VPN connections can be dicey at times and many business don’t allow VPN through their firewall…so we can’t guarantee you’ll be able to run the software from your workplace and/or home. Where you have control over the firewall, we can generally quite easily make things work but it is no guarantee.

Access to VPN versions of software is only to be used for non-commercial individual, educational use or generating material for your personal demo reel.
