Synology announced today that its VPN server solution for Synology Routers, VPN Plus, has transitioned to a permanently free licensing program.

"We first launched this program to support businesses worldwide during the initial phase of the COVID-19 crisis. Fast forward 18 months, and the trend is now irreversible. Working from home has become the new normal," said Rebecca Lin, Product Manager for VPN Plus at Synology Inc. "We think our users should continue to enjoy full free access to all the best VPN technologies that Synology has to offer. That is why we are announcing forever free licenses for all previously paid features of our premier VPN server solution, Synology VPN Plus."

Under the new program, new and existing owners of Synology's RT1900ac, RT2600ac, and MR2200ac wireless routers can activate perpetual Client VPN Access and Site-to-Site VPN licenses at no additional cost, forever.
