A Decade of Reliable, Easy-to-Admin OpenVPN Access Server
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using OpenVPN for over a decade. OpenVPN is easy for our users, simple to administrate, and has been reliable. Most importantly, in the last couple of years, the amount of effort being put into the product has really reflected on the administration side.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all the recent updates, I find it difficult to find anything I dislike about OpenVPN Access Server.

OpenVPN provides us the ability to keep our proprietary and sensitive data inside our domain and allows our users access to this information. We are not a cloud-using company, and need our data kept on-premise, so OpenVPN ensures we can do this.

Effortless Setup, Essential for Remote Access

The server is very simple to set up and get working with a few clicks. This made it really easy for us as a business.

Great VPN solution to grant access to business network
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that OpenVPN Access Server supports MFA and SAML for client login. We had used the built in MFA previously using Google Authenticator, and now client login via SAML and we MFA on the SSO side.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have used OpenVPN for years now and like it quite a bit. Managing a cluster of VPN servers could use some iteration and improvements but it pretty solid all things considered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We went with OpenVPN Access Server because we didn't want to use a VPN solution that was directly tied to our campus firewall. It was a relatively cheap VPN solution to implement in our environment. We primarily use it for remote access to on-premises servers. The number of on-premises servers has been decreasing over the years as more things went cloud, but we still needed a reasonably priced and secure solution for granting access to those servers.
