    Seamless Cross-Platform VPN with Easy SSO Integration and Strong Access Controls

    Reviewed on Oct 24, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    We deployed an OpenVPN on an Ubuntu VM. The installation is straightforward, and no need to mess with the complex firewall rules. We use Microsoft Azure Entra ID, so integrating SAML for single sign-on was a big win. Our team was a mix of Windows laptops and Mac OS machines. The OpenVPN client works seamlessly across all platforms. I was able to assign specific access rules to different users, which helped us maintain regulatory compliance and reduce unnecessary exposure.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    While logs are available, I wish there were more built-in analytics, like bandwidth usage per user and connection history dashboards. Setting up split tunneling and custom routes is not an easy task. It's scalable, but we need to work plan for adding more than 50 users.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We have contractors working from different locations, we created a user profile for him and gave him access to Development environment, and sent him the connection link. Within 10 mins, they are securely connected and working without any issues.
