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.
Simple, easy to deploy, very secure and reliable VPN.

Best VPN solution for GCP architectures
What do you like best about the product?
It was straightforward to install. I added the Access server through the Deployments options in GCP. It created the VM, network and firewall rules for it to work. I just had to purchase the license through their website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Individual licenses can be a little pricey. Discount per volume (10+) would be desirable
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to protect our GCP architecture through private access.
excellent
working fine,
connecting my public and private servers / ec2-instances using private IP addresses from my location using putty without any issues...
Thanks a lot aws & Open VPN Team
Note: first configure VPN access Server in your aws Region,
Then login as openvpnas@<openvpn ser pub.ip>/admin
Configure it.... as admin.
2) login as openvpn@<vpn pub.ip>
download vpn client software, install in your local pc, create a profile, then only it will work without any issue.
3) you can create user accounts and assign passwords in VPN server also
Super Fast VPN & Secure App
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN is a tool that uses open source, allowing its users to connect to any VPN. This is one of the reasons why it is highly rated in reviews and opinions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are sometimes bugs that slow down our connection, which is disadvantageous during meetings or client calls, especially when we are busy, but it's rare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VPN is useful because it allows us to work remotely. I have health problems and cannot go to the office, so this service makes me feel comfortable just as if I were at the office.
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.
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.
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.
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.
