An open VPN access server is extremely helpful and easy to use very handy. This VPN is available across the globe and we can stay connected anytime from anywhere at a very minimum cost.
The thing I dislike about OpenVPN access server is the bulky interface. sometimes the software lags and runs slow. we can make the user interface more simplistic.
The problem was solved by the OpenVPN access server and it benefitted me to get anywhere across the globe and at very minimum cost and we also get random locations on demand.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Reasonable price and easy to deploy. I like that it integrates with LDAP so easy to roll out to users. Admin screen is easy to use and logical.
Needs mixed mode authentication, I have both AD and non-AD users. Also would like for server updates to be much easier. The product needs a way to deploy updates to the clients.
Allow remote users access to critical systems. Easy to deploy and maintain
Flexibility, scalability, redundancy capability and LDAP integration.
Windows client is sometime buggy, better than before but still need some improvement for first time users (inexperienced users may require assistance from helpdesk initially).
We use this for all our managed services solutions, allowing our customers to access their infrastructure securely, with any device and using their central authentication system (AD).
The best things about OpenVPN are the simplicity and broad client support. It is a very cost effective solution to setup and run, doesn't require a lot of maintenance, and requires very little hardware.
I don't any issues that I would say I "dislike" about it.
Secure remote access for users.
We like that OpenVPN is... well... open. It works with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, you name it. We're not vendor locked.
The support offering is a little light, but given the upside and cost, that's completely understandable.
We have a lot of mobile users around the US, getting them connected using an SSL, TCP, UDP adaptive VPN solution is critical given the types or networks our team is accessing from.
