Compare OpenVPN Access Server with other popular tools in the same category.
Since it's open source; you have full control on it. And you're certain that your connection is direct between you and your server. Works great on AWS EC2 instance and available ready in the marketplace.
Since it's between you and your own instances/servers, you'll have to manage and support yourself.
Secure connection to connect to my VPC as well as connecting via public networks.
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.
Easy to open, sign-in, authenticate and move on!
Signing in every time - HOWEVER, I understand the principle of needing to do this.
Secure hosting and login to sensitive information for our business
I like having easy-to-read source code that I can modify at will, and all of it written in standard C, and something that I can tweak and modify as needed. It already comes with a ton of super useful options and features, but topping it off with well written source code is great
There's sort of too many options. It's both a strength and a liability. I both like and hate all those options. It makes it pretty difficult to create a comprehensive "config builder" because there's just so many inter-connection pieces and dependencies on the configs.
Openvpn is acting as a bridge between networks in different locations, bringing them together in a single extended-LAN type of situation.
It's easy to use, sits in my toolbar, and I click it when I need to connect securely to my workplace network.
Some of the more advanced features, such as being connected on two networks at once (via two tunnels), need a bit of effort to get set up and tested.
How can I ensure the work I do remotely is secure when transferring data to and from my workplace?
Easy to set up and administer and very simple licensing!
There can be some confusion between the open source version and the paid subscription.
We are allowing our clients access to a hosted application and we've seen increased security compliance.
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.
