VPN Protocol done right!
What do you like best about the product?
As an industry leader, wherever I go it seems I can use the OVPN protocol, which is very handy when deploying profiles, as I'm already up to speed with the software and requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much really, sometimes there are permission bugs when installing for End users, but this is usually due to Windows permissions rather than OpenVPN. It's easy to fix with reinstalls and restarts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As we prefer not to roll out proprietary software for every VPN provider we use, it's super simple to keep all our profiles in one place. Not much more than that to say about it to be honest.
A great open source VPN
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN Access Server is available now in the Microsoft Azure marketplace making it easier to deploy in most of the major cloud providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Making it easier to add CA-certified SSL certificates to the server as it comes with a self-certified SSL certificate.
Making the "Route Traffic through VPN" a default on option for convenience.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure connection to connect to my VPC as well as connecting via public networks.
quite easy setup and use
What do you like best about the product?
Easy setup options. First time I used OpenVPN for TryHackMe to access the TryHackMe virtual device. It was quite easy to set up as a begineer. One can save multiple access key files for different purpose.
What do you dislike about the product?
It keeps running in the background even if you are not accessing any VM right now. It drains the battery.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It creates a private tunnel to access the resources. Suppose I am working from home and I want to use my office PC that has more processing power. -- To access that pc privately I would connect it via VPN to maintain my privacy and prevent data leaks.
OpenVPN works great
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN just works. The connection is always strong, great tunneling, easy to manage profiles and all-around ease of use with this product. I highly recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes client/employee profiles expire or stop working for no reason. It is very easy to fix but it still causes a minor annoyance from time to time. Other than that nothing stands out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved the issue of company resources that need to be secured being accessed by the right people at the right time. OpenVPN lets us lock certain data behind the VPN and increase security.
Professional VPN tunnel
What do you like best about the product?
The best and easy way to connect to your organization and get things going. We have been using the tool for the past 5 years and there have been zero issues faced. Seamless connection.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a limit to usability and very rarely the connection drops automatically. There has been no downside to the tool apart from this. Makes the speed slow sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Networking solution for the entire organization made simple with Open VPN. We were able to connect multiple users with a single set of credentials making it more economic.
One of the reliable one !!
What do you like best about the product?
The efficiency and reliability of this software are excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the internet does not work if your connection disconnect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am accessing Analytics tools after connecting to this.
Perfect Product
Easy to configure and deploy. Somehow I manage to keep discovering new features despite having used this maybe 5 years now. Documentation and support used to be hit and miss but over the last year or so it's improved massively - wiki/kb expanded and even super quick response for tickets on an account that was free license.
OpenVPN a True Partner for Remote Workers
What do you like best about the product?
I work remotely for a US company, and I have to access the US servers, which requires my location to be in the US. Many of the other VPNs provide remote access; however, they are very slow. Over the past couple of years, OpenVPN has improved its speed and provides the best speed I have seen. The UI design is very minimalistic and user-friendly. The best part is that it is beginner-friendly as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It will be best if it can be integrated into cloud platforms like AWS, Databricks, as well. This will be more useful, and we can access it directly in the cloud tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a new employee and work remotely at this time. Our company handles the data from different nations and collects it on a remote server, and as the data is confidential, we need to use the VPN to access those data. Our company uses OpenVPN for this purpose. Without using OpenVPN, it is impossible to access the data and work remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If any company uses confidential data and works remotely on a highly secure server, then OpenVPN is for you. It is affordable, secure, and highly reliable, so go for it.
A heavy duty VPN for experienced users
What do you like best about the product?
Provides security that I don't have to worry about. It saves my log in information.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there is an issue, it's not straightforward and I have to rely on IT staff to help me fix it. Not user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's extremely secure and we've experienced few security issues as a result. We work remotely so knowing that we all have the same security standard online is extremely important.
