OpenVPN AS is a well-supported, robust VPN solution.

  • February 20, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about OpenVPN AS is that it is pretty much literally a turn-key product. They have a virtual appliance available that works out of the box with NO installation, per se, required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of AS, however is that a lot of the detailed configuration and control options are only available via a command-line interface, which is not exactly intuitive. It is, however, quite well documented and there are numerous forums online where you can find how-to-do whatever it is you are needing to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VPN access for our 100+ reporters, editors and creative staff

Easy to setup, very reliable. OpenVPN clients are easy to setup too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It works well, but requires commercial licenses. It would be nice to have an Opensource version of it.

Security and access to Internal network.

Effective and Seamless

  • February 19, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Once it is set up, it's super easy to use, seamless, almost invisible yet effective. The customer support is excelllent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing to dislike. As for most services, direct customer support is slightly hidden as they "encourage" the user to make use of docs, faqa, and automated assistants. But once you do get to customer support it is outstanding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Serves nicely as a VPN.

Modern VPN Solution that supports 365 SAML and MFA

  • February 18, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I wanted to avoid using RADIUS for authentication and this ticked all the boxes so I can setup authentication through 365 SSO and MFA.

It works well and their support has been pretty helpful in my experience.
OpenVPN Connect works great for Windows and macOS
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had a GUI client for Linux. Currently you have to use OpenVPN3 cli. Network Manager doesn't support the pop up windows for SAML authentication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved the problem of needing MFA and integration authentication with 365/Entra ID. This allows us to not need another on-prem server just to handle VPN authentication.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not easy to re-create the instances without losing existing data for a single instance.

OpenVPN helps to access resources in private network without compromising security.

Sistema óptimo para la conexión remota de usuarios

  • February 14, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
La facilidad de aprendizaje para empleados que han de utilizar el sistema. La posibilidad de aplicar un doble factor a la hora de conectarse por temas de seguridad. La facilidad de implementación es genial
What do you dislike about the product?
La actualización del servidor es dificil y el hecho de no poder enmascarar la IP Pública del Servidor con un servicio CDN
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Como ya he comentado el hecho de no poder enmascarar la IP Pública tras un servicio CDN nos perjudica en temas de seguridad
