It is easy to use and set up, especially for a company like mine with many remote workers.
I do not like that I cannot use it for personal use as a country VPN enabler.
It enables a compan y full of remote workers to have a remote VPN.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Secure access to our internal GCP assets.
We have been using OpenVPN from the past few years and it helped a lot to secure lt access our servers.
Nothing as of now. Everything is going smooth.
We are controlling our servers through this VPN only and we never faced the problem while using it.
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.
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.
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.
It's very easy to deploy and manage users. Very stable and reliable connection. I found it very secure VPN service.
I haven't encountered any dislike of this VPN as it works perfectly fine.
Remote connection to the office network. We have been able to resolve pabx issues of our customers remotely and instantly. It has helped us build trust and excellent service.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Individual licenses can be a little pricey. Discount per volume (10+) would be desirable
We were able to protect our GCP architecture through private access.
OpenVPN est un outil qui utilise une source ouverte, permettant à ses utilisateurs de se connecter à n’importe quel VPN. C’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles elle est très bien notée dans les examens et les avis.
Il y a des bugs des fois qui ralentissent nos connexion ce qui est desavantageuz lors de meeting ou appel de client surtout quand on est achalandé mais c'est rare
VPN est utile car nous permet de travailler a distance. J'ai des problemes de santé et ne peut aller au bureau donc ce service me rend a l'Aise tout comme si j'etais au bureau
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ease of use and setup. The step by step guides walk you right through ever scenario
Nothing to dislike, its so easy to configure and implement.
Securing our unsecured internet traffic.
We are using OpenVPN for Secure connection to our remote branches & Applications. It provides advance features such as Two-Factor Authentication that we can integrate with Google Authenticator as well. It also provides Options such as route the traffic via internet as well. It provides certificate authentication that helps us to encrypt & Secure the enviorment. We can also configure & Manage the same with Openvpn admin GUI as well. It provides DNS Options & user management as well.
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.
I have set up my VPN by running an open VPN server in docker containers on my Azure virtual machine. I have achieved the following things, 1. Reduced latency and increased browsing speed 2. User - I have added 5+ users, connected through mobiles 3. Adblocker, I have configured pi-hole in my open vpn server. Able to get rid of adverts 4. Security, my azure virtual machine is well secured. My VPN is secure 5. Reliability, very reliable. VPN never disconnects automatically. 6. Bandwidth, based on an Azure virtual machine, not our wifi. getting 50 to 80 MBs through open VPN
Content caching is not in place. Otherwise, it would be more speed browsing
I have set up my vpn and connected through mobile devices, able to be safe and secure in public wifi. I have configured pi-hole adblockers, surfing freely without too many advertisements
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.
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.
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.
