When OpenVPN goes down the network is paused for repairing which really ensures no data loss or data corruption.This acts as another layer of security.This has also got world wide support community.

Setting up OpenVPN is really hard for a beginner.

we try to connect to the US servers from India because client's URL's are only accessible from the US servers.

Excellent, Open-Source, and Affordable

  • October 03, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that OpenVPN takes the complexity out of establishing remote connections and makes things super-easy, reliable, and a breeze to troubleshoot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Under macOS, I'd prefer the OpenVPN client to be baked into the operating system, rather than a separate user-mode application, so that connections can be established BEFORE login occurs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting to internal systems located in various parts of the world without the need for a Public-facing Internet connection
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The server portion is free and open-source, easy to implement, and the clients are mostly straight-foward, though may not fit your enterprise deployment strategy.

Good enough

Would be better if passiong tag options to enable routing gateway/dns through VPN worked but it is exactly what you'd expect. Clean install of OpenVPN AS and works flawlessly after manual setup.

Exactly what it says on the box

It "just works" - I had no problems setting up, or running. The only downside to this particular product is that so far as I can tell, to use the VPN requires client side software; there doesn't seem to be a way to run without OpenVPN software on the client device

Good product

Saved us a lot of hassle with setting up a VPN access server. If you are not going to deploy centralized configuration management (OpsWorks/Puppet/Ansible/etc.) and set up OpenVPN yourself, using this AMI is very convenient. The only actual downside is lack of support of pre-shared TLS keys.

Quick and easy VPN

The faster and easier way to implement a VPN that works great. We also have the guarantee that security is also solved.

In two hours we could do all the technical checks we needed to present the project to a client.

Thanks for making an easier world.

I had an opportunity to use this product while practicing Hybrid network solution and was amazed with this open source solution. Had a few issues while configuring it on Ubuntu but finally was able to create a tunnel between AWS VPC and my private network. After connection, things work like charm and it's easy to have your AD site in cloud as well as various other apps. Great job AWS😀
