Use the documented sudo systemctl commands to start Pritunl and set it to start automatically. Without this, it may not come back after a server restart.

### Can Pritunl use my organization's existing identity provider?

Pritunl supports single sign-on with several providers so remote access can use existing company accounts.

### Can the Pritunl web interface be configured with Nginx or Let's Encrypt?

The documentation lists configuration options for Nginx, Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, custom SSL certificates, and Cloudflare.

### Is the free Pritunl edition feature-limited?

Self-hosters have discussed Pritunl alternatives because its free edition feels limited in features.
