Connecting to a VPN network

Hi,

On pythonanywhere we are trying to build a data cleaning/aggregation tool for a project. The problem is, the MySQL database that contains the data to be cleaned is inside a VPN and due to security reasons can only be accessed from within that VPN.

The VPN is accessible with openvpn, using keys. Is there a way to connect to this VPN from pythonanywhere?

Thanks, Krisz

Unfortunately not -- as far as I know, all Linux VPN software needs to hook into the kernel's network stack, which isn't possible on our architecture.
