The Most SECURE and RELIABLE Internet Experience with Open VPN
What do you like best about the product?
Security, stability, and ease of use is how I describe OpenVPN, and for these modern and changing times, this is the number one priority for everyone in this world. OpenVPN will provide you with that and more. I've never felt so safe before; Working at home or even in a public space is a priority for many people around the world due to this exhausting pandemic. You will be safe at all times with your OpenVPN turned on. I recently moved from a different VPN software at my company. The way this software works is amazing and I can really see why we chose OpenVPN to make sure our computers and business are safe at all times. It just takes care of that, and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say there are no negatives that I can mention. It provides what is described: a virtual private network system that implements techniques to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. So simple, yet complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I handle calls, texts and emails every day. Making sure my clients and the company are safe is a number one priority. Ensuring that my company and personal information is fairly well protected is non-negotiable. OpenVPN is the best shield to use at all times to make sure everyone is safe and happy so that we can provide exceptional service to our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have any questions regarding OpenVPN, just send an email to them, they will respond back with all the information you need regarding the program.

I hope it gains the fame it deserves and increasingly becomes a standard among producers.
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN, understood both as the set of protocols and as the cross-platform client/server application available for free, deserves the utmost success in the world of networking and security. The era of IKE configurations, authentications through complex chains of certificates, the era of long NAT and firewall settings and rules has ended thanks to OpenVPN, which in a Linux environment has allowed me to set up several site-to-site VPN servers for encrypted communication between some VoIP endpoints with support for OVPN configuration files. These files greatly simplify the life of the SecOps team and network and system administrators who no longer have to dedicate entire days, weeks, or months to the manual configuration, client by client, of the correct VPN parameters. I hope it is supported by default by more and more manufacturers of PCs, routers, firewalls, phones, and IoT devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Linux client should be reviewed because, despite GTK or the graphics engine being installed, it has no option to be run in GUI mode but only from the command line, which makes it much more difficult for less experienced users who use Linux solely for security and stability purposes due to their lack of familiarity with the command line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have created about 18 site-to-site VPNs between Azure and AWS, my HQ and AWS, my HQ and Azure, and my HQ to the HQs of other clients who have chosen us for the provision of important and/or business-critical services that therefore require total privacy and confidentiality of data transiting to the WAN or to and from our headquarters. Time saved: about 4 hours per VPN server, about 80 hours in total.
Great for Work!
What do you like best about the product?
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!
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OpenVPN is a very good way to secure your unsecured network if needed. I would recommend this to a company who is having security problems with people attempting to breach your system or if you want to have it as a safety precaution before it happens. It's a very smart thing to do either way!
A Grеаt VPN for mаny usеs
What do you like best about the product?
I lovе thаt OреnVPN tаkеs thе сomрlехіty out of еstаblіshіng rеmotе сonnесtіons аnd mаkеs thіngs suреr-еаsy, rеlіаblе, аnd а brееzе to troublеshoot. I like that now it is not necessary to run complex programs in order to connect to a remote computer via an encrypted connection.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not аll my ехреrіеnсеs аrе swееt or grаtе. Thе fіrst сonnесtіon I mаdе wаs not rеасhаblе аnd hаvе to try othеr рoрulаtеd сonnесtіons for slow sрееd. But most likely it was set up in my company. So, in general, the service is very simple and works without failures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whеn I nееd to work out of thе offісе аnd stіll ассеss thе dаtа wаrеhousе I usе thіs tool. It аllows mе to bе morе flехіblе іn my work loсаtіon.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bеіng oреn sourсе, іt’s сonstаntly bеіng іmрrovеd, рlus іt’s сomраtіblе wіth most рlаtforms аnd vеry аdарtіvе to VPN softwаrе сlіеnts.
Opensource, fast, reliable and configurable VPN software
What do you like best about the product?
Stable and reliable performance. In the config file of a specific server, you can specify a lot of necessary options. Simple switching between servers via GUI. Other VPN services usually provide OpenVPN config-files for their servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is necessary to prescribe in the config files the option to protect against DNS leaks, in other VPN services this is usually already taken into account by default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several development teams in different countries, one of which blocks the web resources of the other. The software we develop under the strict NDA and the security service limits contact with the outside world. Therefore, we need security in communications and encryption when visiting other web resources. Therefore, in our case, Vpn has become a panacea for all security problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to quickly install and use a VPN and you have an average knowledge of IT, then this solution is for you.

Excellent, flexible solution for our Azure environment
What do you like best about the product?
The documentation & excellent technical support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally I have to disconnect the VPN client and reconnect it. This happens maybe 1 time per day or every other day. It could just be my system though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have secured our Azure environment by requiring users & admins to connect by VPN to manage our servers and other business critical resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend reviewing the relevant documentation before setting up the Open VPN Access Server.
