"OpenVPN - My favorite VPN protocol"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

Easy to set up point-to-point tunnels from other OpenVPN routers to other OpenVPN routers, cross-platform compatibility with apples, windows, androids and Linux devices, lots of assistance and GUI is very easy for window users to use as long as they can remember to open it in the correct corner of the tray and click connect first before attempting to open other network resources such as remote desk.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

The interface is easy without any actual use in addition to choosing a server and turning it on. Would you like to see a bandwidth monitor, server CPU use

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was positive because it met the demands for which it was intended, is effective and of quality, and I suggest it because it is a helpful instrument in terms of the safety of private and business data.

"NEVER RECEIVED COMPENSATION - MISLEADING"
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

When it comes to VPNs, simplicity is king. I downloaded the client, entered the VPN url, and hit connect! After entering my username/password, I was in and that was it. You can't get any simpler than that. NEVER RECEIVED COMPENSATION - MISLEADING

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

While simplicity is definitely king, sometimes there are a few options you wish you would have! Because I can't let local traffic stay local, I ended up having to remote to servers that I could normally access directly. NEVER RECEIVED COMPENSATION - MISLEADING

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

This allowed me to connect to work and an institution from home so I had access to a variety of useful literature and documents.

"Easy to use secure VPN solution "
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

I use VPN to access my network from a range of different client platforms. The ability to also host the access server from any number of platforms gives me resilience in my setup.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Open VPN is not natively supported on certain clients and on others such as Mac you have to install a third party client. The logging mechanism also sometime does not help in debugging failed connections.

What problems is OpenVPN Access Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have the ability to work remotely and access resources on the main network when out and about as well as secure my communications channels when on third party Wi-fi etc which gives me security and protection.
