Great standardized software

Not much to say to be honest, documentation is good and software works fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using proprietary softwares for VPN is always annoying as everyone tries to innovate in the scene, but realistically keeping things simple is the way to go.

Such a great Open Source VPN
What do you like best?
To start, OpenVPN is an Open-Sourced VPN Solution. It's stable, secure, and reliable. I've used an AWS EC2 OpenVPN Image and it works wonders out of the box. Unless you're a medium-large enterprise, if you need a secure connection to connect to your AWS environment, OpenVPN is a great and cost-effective option.
What do you dislike?
Nothing to dislike given that it has a free-to-use license, but more premium VPN solutions will offer more options (e.g. security tunnels) and better customer support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting securely to the AWS environment, especially when using public networks.
