Openvpn4ucs - unable to download packages

Is this still a viable app to use? I have it installed and all links/help point to a german website with no mention of openvpn. It appears to be configured, but when I select ready2go packages and enter a user name who has been configured I get an Apache2 error “Forbidden - Your do not have permision to access this resource. Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe.”
I have tried using http on the local network as well as https via internet link and both are the same.
If there is a better alternative I am all ears.
