Easy to use secure VPN solution
What do you like best about the product?
I use VPN to access my network from a range of different client platforms. The ability to also host the access server from any number of platforms gives me resilience in my setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Open VPN is not natively supported on certain clients and on others such as Mac you have to install a third party client. The logging mechanism also sometime does not help in debugging failed connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have the ability to work remotely and access resources on the main network when out and about as well as secure my communications channels when on third party Wi-fi etc which gives me security and protection.

Opensource, fast, reliable and configurable VPN software
What do you like best about the product?
Stable and reliable performance. In the config file of a specific server, you can specify a lot of necessary options. Simple switching between servers via GUI. Other VPN services usually provide OpenVPN config-files for their servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is necessary to prescribe in the config files the option to protect against DNS leaks, in other VPN services this is usually already taken into account by default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several development teams in different countries, one of which blocks the web resources of the other. The software we develop under the strict NDA and the security service limits contact with the outside world. Therefore, we need security in communications and encryption when visiting other web resources. Therefore, in our case, Vpn has become a panacea for all security problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to quickly install and use a VPN and you have an average knowledge of IT, then this solution is for you.

OpenVPN for networks protection
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN is allows me to tunnel any IP network using UDP or TCP port. One of the main things that I like about it is that it is equipped with a 256-AES-CBC encryption for maximizing our network security and keep our internal communication safe. This tool is great to tunnel networks through firewalls connections without having to use/change any firewall rules. Setting up the network is somehow easy and flexibility but with some experience anyone can get a very high connection speed and a great performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support are not responsive. It takes a lot of communication and time to fix a problem with them. It is always better to look for one of the professional support forum with people who have experience with OpenVPN. They are really helpful.
