Secure and Reliable VPN Solution with Robust Features

I really appreciate how OpenVPN Access Server offers a secure and customizable environment for VPN management. It’s user-friendly and makes it easy to handle remote connections. Plus, it’s versatile—there are plenty of configuration options, and it works well across different platforms, which is great for adapting to various organizational needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it’s a powerful tool, some of the more advanced configuration options can be pretty complex and might overwhelm users who aren’t as experienced. The cost can also add up, especially if you need a lot of concurrent connections for a large deployment.

Nothing comes to mind, except I had to roll my own SSL cert renewal solution, but that wasn't too hard, and is well documented.

Other products run tens of thousands per year. OpenVPN AS costs a few bucks a month, based on max users actively using it that month.

Simple and solid!
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using OpenVPN connect for nearly 2 years to allow our DevOps team conneciton into AWS resource.
It was quick to push out to our user base with InTune and easy to setup SAML to use Entra 365 MFA authentication. Solid and simple UI with easy to access connection logs.
Having contacted support twice I was connected with the right folk immediately, no messing around with first line - straight to the devs!
