OpenVPN Access Server Reviews & Product Details

OpenVPN is a great VPN tool. A lot of operating systems natively support VPN, however try to set one up and you will notice the limitations. OpenVPN is incredibly easy to setup and use. We use this tool to allow users to access the same network. Connecting is a breeze and there are no bugs. The software is also very secure. Importing certificates is also easy and with literally ever other VPN tool out there this is not the case at all.

When you first install it through a web browser, you will be asked to login. I have found that for some reason this screen just hangs and does nothing. Not sure what that is about but it does not effect the functioning of the software. T

OpenVPN is used to allow users to access our internal network without being directly connected.

The best feature is the ability to run multiple ports and protocols with a single appliance.

Not integrated with SD WAN capabilities.

With OpenVPN we build fast and functional VPN gateways for are customers enabling compliance and data protection.

The system is easy to setup and easy to configure, server our corporate solution perfectly!

The Linux client can be difficult but our new routers all have built in openvpn so no longer a concern

We are an international software firm, your product allows us to support people world wide

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

- The OpenVPN Access Server AMI is a great out of the box VPN solution for your AWS VPC. - We were able to easily connect to our Active Directory in AWS to the OpenVPN Access Server and enable 2-factor requirements via Google Authenticator. - Supports PAM, RADIUS, and LDAP. - This solution replaced our clients deprecated PPTP solution. OpenVPN is consistently rated among the most secure VPN solutions which is why we went with it.

License management on the openvpn.net could be improved in one regard: allowing users to deactivate and move a license between servers. As you spin up an instance you may need to reconfigure our move your license to a newer server and that requires involving OpenVPN Support to reissue your license. This can take a few hours before they respond but typically they are pretty fast so not a huge negative for us.

Simple way to connect to our AWS VPC with 2-factor authentication tied to our Active Directory.

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).

Easy to use and minimal errors when connecting.

Difficult to set up for use in a non-business environment

Our IT department uses OpenVPN for remote access on physical machines to allow Administrator privileges.

OpenVPN offers users a very simple and secure VPN option that is both economical and quick to install. Users are able to easily install it on their client devices.

The update process is very poor. It is very hard to determine the name of the version to use with 'wget' when updates are available. There is no single place to look. Adding users to security groups in AD does not easily translate to VPN access rights.

We typically find customers who have open RDP ports to their network and we can quickly secure that by using OpenVPN.

OpenVPN provides the ability to activate MFA for an installation.This is very useful for high-security environments.

Sometimes the OpenVPN log on the client grows very large and requires a client server reboot

Provide secure access from client computer to private network in the cloud. It allows us to improve security to the cloud by limiting firewall rules.

It just works! I love how easy it is to access my server and get VPN access going on any device, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. It's easy to install and configure, and I never have any problems with it. Configuring and updating my own server is super simple. In my experience, I've always had some difficulty setting up hardware VPN appliances, but OpenVPN was no-nonsense. I also love that because it's server-based, I have the ability to virtualize the appliance and take advantage of all the benefits that gives me.

There's nothing really I dislike. I'm very content with the way OpenVPN works for my company.

Offering VPN access on a wide range of devices from smartphones to laptops. We have access back into our network no matter what device we are using.
