What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
giving offshore workers access
OpenVPN is part of our infra life
What do you like best about the product?
We use OpenVPN to connect to our servers and applications which are hosted on the AWS cloud. It provides us with a broad umbrella where we put all of our cloud instances and also other automation securely. The one thing I like about using and managing OpenVPN is the simple UI and easy-to-follow steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Admin UI could be more in-depth and fancy. I am an admin and there is nothing complicated to manage or maintain. It satisfies my purpose and goals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a need where we wanted to manage all of our servers hosted in the cloud and other automation under a very secure environment. We came across OpenVPN and configured it on our production environment. It's been close to 5-6 years now and there have been zero issues or even thoughts to worry about it. It provides a secure tunnel for us to SSH into the EC2 instances. We use Jenkins jobs, python scripts, and what not but it works well with all of our infra. As an Admin, it is very easier for me to manage thew user groups and their permissions. Just a few clicks and done.

We are using it with initially 10 users but we have increased it to 20 users. Happy with overall services along encryption.

There is a slowness when we connected to openVPN... they need to fix this problem otherwise even if we have high speed internet we are not able to access the online application seemlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has resolved our security issues while we are accessing our certain application whose exposure to public domain is not safe. So we use OpenVPN to resolve this problem.
Secure your GCP assets through a this deployment in just a few clicks!
What do you like best about the product?
It was very easy to install and configure through GCP's deployment marketplace. I've rarely contacted Customer Support, since it works smoothly out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not much about the Access Server but more about the lack of elasticity in its implementation as an instance. Running as a containarized solutions should fix this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure access to our internal GCP assets.

The thing I dislike about OpenVPN access server is the bulky interface. sometimes the software lags and runs slow. we can make the user interface more simplistic.

Excellent product
Manage to set it up within half an hour. Just follow their official guide and you should be all good: https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/amazon-web-services-ec2-byol-appliance-quick-start-guide/
I deployed a t2 micro and there are no issues at all for my 5 min of testing. Upload and download speeds are good (67MB/24MB), tested through Google's internet speed test.
Amazing Secure tool to use
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using OpenVPN from the past few years and it helped a lot to secure lt access our servers.

Nothing as of now. Everything is going smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Best Solution to secure Private Network
What do you like best about the product?
We are using OpenVPN to access our private Network on GCP/AWS, our whole GCP / AWS infra can be accessible using OpenVPN file only. We are using this to securly SSH in our virtual machines & Cloud SQL instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall it's good. But sometimes when we connect with OpenVPN, we face internet issues. But after reconnecting it solves our issue. Still recommend to use for making your infrastructures security strong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to SSH our servers securely. Early it was public / accessible through our office internet only. But we were looking to make it accessible from anywhere. So we were looking for a central network, here OpenVPN comes in picture. We setup one proxy network through this. And it solved our issue. Now we can connect with this using VPN file.
