OpenVPN Access Server Reviews & Product Details

nice lightweight application that provides us with vpn access for internal company documents and websites.

It can be a little difficult to set up by yourself if you don't have proper instructions

giving access to confidential information and services.

When you travel from on continet to anotger for work, using just one server will reduce your internet speed, specially when in some places the local internet speed is less than 1 meg per sec, therefore using a server in us whike you are in Africa is not fissible.

Sometime I receive security error when I am using this VPN, and it usually gets fixed by changing the server

In many places internet access to many websites, even telegram and skype are filtered

I like that this product can be used with multiple diffrent venders verses just one. Can be used on any operating system and is mobile. Keeps password so you don't have to login every time. Works with iOS even when apple breaks things on each update with Wi-Fi

The setup isn't easy and must use the application on all devices. iOS and Android devices must open app to start and end VPN connection.

Making sure that when on a public connection that our data stays safe.

Open vpn ensures securely connecting to remote servers in private subnet with MFA and Protect sensitive data's. User Administration is very easy in making groups and assinging them to group and checking the active users and removing thise we are inactive and not using .

Remote access of our prod DB's and servers securely with MFA.

Simply helps us to connect any Servers which hosted in the Amazon Cloud Platform

Automatic Notification required when the License get expired

It is a simple Cloud Connect VPN which we can use to connect the Cloud Applications from our Local Machines

OpenVPN was a free solution (with the right company configuration) that worked for our small, rapidly growing company of ~50 employees. Mostly hosted on AWS, we were able to dedicate an EC2 Server to managing the VPN needs of the company, primarily to provide access to other AWS resources in a secure manner. This solution scaled very well as we grew.

We did run into some latency issues, for example, when we had entire company calls and everyone had their video and audio on. Sometimes the speaker on a video call would break up and then reconnect. This proved to be a minor but noticeable drawback.

We have developed a strong, standardized way of accessing protected resources. The VPN allows us to keep our private servers securely tucked away from public access, allowing us to keep our customers and our own sanity satisfied. IT has been part of our journey to High Trust accreditation.

It's easy to install and to use. Setup is a hassle though

To setup process was cumbersome. A lot of trial and error to make it work, but once setup it works like a charm.

Secure connection to work pc

We've been using OpenVPN for 2 years now and their support and customer updates are always in par.

Maybe the pricing and the minimum users to add if you only just need a few like 5 below.

As of the moment we dont have any.

We enjoy the ease of installation on endpoints from a single web-page and one or two clicks. Even our most non-technical users are able to accomplish installing OpenVPN's client

The occasional upgrade is annoying and the licensing system occasionally hangs us up when the host VM is moved.

We connect remote-workers to the computing environment via OpenVPN.

OpenVPN is secure, easy to set up, powerfully flexible, and a great value. It performs better than several of it's competitors and does everything we need.

The fact they started charging for it, but its still a great deal.

Too many peopke trying to work anywhere but in the office.

Easy top set up and use. Creates secure tunnels (yes that's plural) as I can open multiple tunnels to servers.

Nothing really. There was a bit of a learning curve to create the various config files but that was all

Accessing servers for my largest clients in order to perform development and update servers

The fact of being able to be used for free and the easy steps to configure.

The availability of only two clients accepting connections.

Security issues, ethic hacking testing.

Easy to use, simple configuration, like it very much. Highly suggest for everybody to use. One of the best VPN Client I have tried in enterprise environment

Nothing found so far. The software is pretty good and I cannot complain. It working the way it should.

I am trying to connect to business network when I am outside of my company network, as well as I have configured it for some other frequently travelling users. It works pretty good with my Firewall.

Easy to configure on mobile devices, you can easily just email yourself the ovpn file or if you have a tablet device, just browse to the UTM User Portal and grab it yourself. I haven't used OpenVPN with any other vendor except for Sophos, but if it works this way with other vendors then it is a great solution. Simple connection once installed with the automated configuration. While some do complain about it, I like that it prompts for credentials every single time you try to connect with it, but once connected you can stay on for days depending on the policy. Why is this important, because PPTP and L2TP/IPsec systems usually have a method to remember credentials. To me this a huge security problem, if a laptop was stolen, or breached, these credentials exist without any sort of effort by the criminal entity.

Having to manually up the configuration each time a change is made on the UTM configuration, but it would seem there is no way to avoid that.

With Crypto Ransomware becoming more and more prevalent, and actively breaching Remote Desktop Services and other remote applications that SMBs and Enterprise organizations use, having a secured VPN is critical to keeping these resources private and removing the need for any sort of DNAT.

its an open-source tool It helps us to securely access our internal services, k8, DBs etc Its relatives faster It makes our system secured as it sends data through TCP and UDP It also supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols It is supported by many types of devices like desktop , mobiles of Mac, android , windows, ios, Linux etc

Configuration is not that easy. Doesnt always run well on mobiles

It helps us to securely access our internal services, k8, DBs etc

Best thing about OpenVPN server is the connectivity, accessibility and its ease of use. It does not get disconnected even after you put laptop in sleep mode. Also its better than GlobalConnect VPN because that used to take lot of time to connect.

Only thing i disliked about OpenVPN is its support team, our devops team had to call them again and again for a single issue that is we wanted to increase limit of number of our connections.

We had to access our sandbox and production server and we wanted to do it in secure way to increase security level we used OpenVPN this way not all people were able to access our servers even though in case credentials got leaked.

Easy setup options. First time I used OpenVPN for TryHackMe to access the TryHackMe virtual device. It was quite easy to set up as a begineer. One can save multiple access key files for different purpose.

It keeps running in the background even if you are not accessing any VM right now. It drains the battery.

It creates a private tunnel to access the resources. Suppose I am working from home and I want to use my office PC that has more processing power. -- To access that pc privately I would connect it via VPN to maintain my privacy and prevent data leaks.

The end user software is simple for non-tech team members to install and follow the guidance provided by the support team. So implementing a VPN of this type is made easier than with other softwares we've used before.

The application (on Mac) can disappear behind other windows, although the toolbar icon is helpful if you remember it's there, this means you can remain connected when you were finished using it.

We've been able to connect the entire team to our office network. This has been vital during the pandemic to allow staff to connect to servers and files when not in the office. The security bulit into OpenVPN means these connections are secure, simple and safe.

It is easy to use OpenVPN to access various VPNs (if needed). The tool allows you to have a real-time pulse on the connection and can connect with Google Authenticator for verification purposes. It also allows you to add multiple profiles in case you need to toggle across different VPNs.

Often times OpenVPN can have zero activity across the connection stats portion of the tool, despite constant connection with the VPN source. This creates confusion on whether or not there are any Internet connectivity issues or blockers related to the VPN.

OpenVPN helps users safely and securely connect to workplace servers via VPN. This has been crucial in the transition to remote work, to ensure everyone has the access they need without any security risks.

I like that OpenVPN is quite easy to setup. I use OpenVPN at my company in order to access internal files and portals that are only open to those on the VPN. "Logging in" to the VPN is as simple as typing in a username and password that I create, then gaining access. One thing I also appreciate is that every once and so often, OpenVPN will remind me to change my password. In addition, some VPNs significantly slow down internet browsing speed, which I have not noticed at all with this software.

While I understand this is the nature of the beast, I don't like that I have to login with my username and password EVERY time I login to my computer. I would hope that there are certain ways to detect that it is in fact me accessing the software. I've also had the VPN abruptly disconnect at times, requiring me to re-login in order to access needed files.

Information security, really. I'm not on the IT team but I've never had issues with security, hacks, phising, et-cetera.
