CCrypto VPN

CCVPN is the software we use at CCrypto to provide our VPN. You can see it live at https://vpn.ccrypto.org/

It handles user management, support tickets, billing and is used as a backend for VPN authentication.
It communicates with an external service, lambdacore, that manages VPN servers and sessions.

Disclaimer: this is a specialized solution that requires proprietary software to function. This repo is a way for us to share our work freely as we don't believe keeping it secret will do any good; feel free to base your own work on it but don't except it to be of an use as-is.

CCrypto's commercial support does not include this and will not help you set it up. Feel free to contact us about ccvpn, but with no guarantee.
PacketImpact however may provide you commercial support and more services about ccvpn and lambdacore.
