"Best VPN service provider"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

We are using it with initially 10 users but we have increased it to 20 users. Happy with overall services along encryption.

There is a slowness when we connected to openVPN... they need to fix this problem otherwise even if we have high speed internet we are not able to access the online application seemlessly.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has resolved our security issues while we are accessing our certain application whose exposure to public domain is not safe. So we use OpenVPN to resolve this problem.

"Secure your GCP assets through a this deployment in just a few clicks!"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

It was very easy to install and configure through GCP's deployment marketplace. I've rarely contacted Customer Support, since it works smoothly out of the box.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

It's not much about the Access Server but more about the lack of elasticity in its implementation as an instance. Running as a containarized solutions should fix this.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

Secure access to our internal GCP assets.

"Best Solution to secure Private Network"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

We are using OpenVPN to access our private Network on GCP/AWS, our whole GCP / AWS infra can be accessible using OpenVPN file only. We are using this to securly SSH in our virtual machines & Cloud SQL instances.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Overall it's good. But sometimes when we connect with OpenVPN, we face internet issues. But after reconnecting it solves our issue. Still recommend to use for making your infrastructures security strong.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to SSH our servers securely. Early it was public / accessible through our office internet only. But we were looking to make it accessible from anywhere. So we were looking for a central network, here OpenVPN comes in picture. We setup one proxy network through this. And it solved our issue. Now we can connect with this using VPN file.

"VPN Protocol done right!"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

As an industry leader, wherever I go it seems I can use the OVPN protocol, which is very handy when deploying profiles, as I'm already up to speed with the software and requirements.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Nothing much really, sometimes there are permission bugs when installing for End users, but this is usually due to Windows permissions rather than OpenVPN. It's easy to fix with reinstalls and restarts.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

As we prefer not to roll out proprietary software for every VPN provider we use, it's super simple to keep all our profiles in one place. Not much more than that to say about it to be honest.

"Best VPN solution for GCP architectures"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

It was straightforward to install. I added the Access server through the Deployments options in GCP. It created the VM, network and firewall rules for it to work. I just had to purchase the license through their website.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Individual licenses can be a little pricey. Discount per volume (10+) would be desirable

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to protect our GCP architecture through private access.

"OpenVPN works great"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

OpenVPN just works. The connection is always strong, great tunneling, easy to manage profiles and all-around ease of use with this product. I highly recommend it.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Sometimes client/employee profiles expire or stop working for no reason. It is very easy to fix but it still causes a minor annoyance from time to time. Other than that nothing stands out.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We solved the issue of company resources that need to be secured being accessed by the right people at the right time. OpenVPN lets us lock certain data behind the VPN and increase security.

"OpenVPN helps for remote workers to access the services outside the Network Coverage Zone."
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

This VPN is very much different from other VPN. Very easy to use, simple and efficient design, and we get an ads-free interface. Also, while using other VPN, you will get to see a decrease in speed than the actual speed, But while using this VPN, I didn't get to see much speed difference. I also like the cost being resonable and affordable. We can find the 2-factor authentication embedded here, making it more secure.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

OpenVPN is a great tool and provides many features, but some features are still missing in the desktop version. We can't make many customizations and changes from the desktop version.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a new employee and work remotely at this time. Our company handles the data from different nations and collects it on a remote server, and as the data is confidential, we need to use the VPN to access those data. Our company uses OpenVPN for this purpose. Without using OpenVPN, it is impossible to access the data and work remotely.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

The only issue with Openvpn we found when we try to connect or configure the client environment, it doesn't accept the certificate sometimes.

OpenVPN resolved our Secure connection environment issues & helped us to connect with our remote branches securely & also allowed us to encrypt the data over the public network.

"The Most SECURE and RELIABLE Internet Experience with Open VPN"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

Security, stability, and ease of use is how I describe OpenVPN, and for these modern and changing times, this is the number one priority for everyone in this world. OpenVPN will provide you with that and more. I've never felt so safe before; Working at home or even in a public space is a priority for many people around the world due to this exhausting pandemic. You will be safe at all times with your OpenVPN turned on. I recently moved from a different VPN software at my company. The way this software works is amazing and I can really see why we chose OpenVPN to make sure our computers and business are safe at all times. It just takes care of that, and more.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

I would say there are no negatives that I can mention. It provides what is described: a virtual private network system that implements techniques to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. So simple, yet complete.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

I handle calls, texts and emails every day. Making sure my clients and the company are safe is a number one priority. Ensuring that my company and personal information is fairly well protected is non-negotiable. OpenVPN is the best shield to use at all times to make sure everyone is safe and happy so that we can provide exceptional service to our customers.

"Spero ottenga la fama che merita e diventi sempre più uno standard tra i produttori"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

OpenVPN, inteso sia come il set di protocolli che come l'applicazione client/server cross-platform disponibile gratuitamente, merita il massimo successo nel mondo del networking e della security. L'era delle configurazioni IKE, delle autenticazioni tramite complesse concatenazioni di certificati, l'era di settaggi e regole di nat e firewall lunghissime è terminata grazie proprio ad OpenVPN che in ambiente Linux mi ha consentito di mettere su diversi server VPN site to site per la comunicazione criptata tra alcuni endpoint VoIP con supporto ai file di configurazione OVPN, proprio questi file semplificano tantissimo la vita del team SecOps e degli amministratori di rete e di sistema che non devono più dedicare intere giornate, settimane o mesi alla configurazione manuale, client per client, dei parametri VPN corretti. Spero venga supportato di default da sempre più produttori di PC, router, firewall, telefoni e IoT devices

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Il client Linux andrebbe rivisto perchè, nonostante GTK o il motore grafico sia installato, non ha nessuna opzione per poter essere eseguito in modalità GUI ma solo da linea di comando, il che rende l'uso ad utenti meno esperti che usano linux per le sole finalità di sicurezza e stabilità, molto più difficile per via della scarsa dimestichezza con la command line

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ho creato circa 18 VPN site-to-site tra Azure e AWS, il mio HQ e AWS, il mio HQ e Azure ed il mio HQ verso gli HQs di altri clienti che ci hanno scelto per la fornitura di servizi importanti e/o business critical che necessitano quindi di totale privacy e riservatezza dei dati transitanti verso la WAN o da e verso la nostra sede. tempo risparmiato: circa 4 ore a server VPN, circa 80 ore totali

"Great for Work!"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

OpenVPN is very to use for our staff. Our staff uses this specifically to access sites that are inaccessible by the public without having a VPN account on our enterprise OpenVPN account. This is an amazing service to have. It really helps with security flaws and breaches since almost any backend only works locally. The cost of use is also very effective for our company and totally worth it and cheap!

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

To be completely HONEST, I don't really dislike anything about OpenVPN. If anything, although this is a very small complaint, the price can be a little high? That's just being picky I suppose.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to finally have a secure network for our staff to connect to without the fear of being vulnerable to attacks or even worse, BEING hacked.

"Opensource, fast, reliable and configurable VPN software"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

Stable and reliable performance. In the config file of a specific server, you can specify a lot of necessary options. Simple switching between servers via GUI. Other VPN services usually provide OpenVPN config-files for their servers.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

It is necessary to prescribe in the config files the option to protect against DNS leaks, in other VPN services this is usually already taken into account by default.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have several development teams in different countries, one of which blocks the web resources of the other. The software we develop under the strict NDA and the security service limits contact with the outside world. Therefore, we need security in communications and encryption when visiting other web resources. Therefore, in our case, Vpn has become a panacea for all security problems.
