What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN Cloud is super easy to set up and walks you through every step of the process. They have great security features and are very configurable.

No big downsides, but if you aren't the most tech-savvy person, it may be difficult to understand some of the steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a reliable, corporate VPN solution and OpenVPN was both a great price and includes all of the latest security features.

What do you like best about the product?
The flow is simple, and we were able to complete the AWS configuration very easily. We have a small team and all of the remote team is now able to access test systems with VPN.
What do you dislike about the product?
the documentation was a little difficult to find, and for some of the configurations, we had to reach out to the support team. But not a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping the remote teams to connect to our test environment in cloud environment without opening unnecessary ports.

The latest version of OpenVpn not found

Why you don't provide the latest versions of OpenVPN?
I find just version 2.8.5.
There are a lot of security issues that resolved in the latest versions.

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.

Simple and Easy

Used this AMI to replace our existing DirectAccess infrastructure (Windows) and am pretty happy with the reliability and performance of the product.

It is easy to use and setup as long as you have some VPN knowledge. However, the reporting capabilities can be lacking (i.e. I have no idea if we hit our licensing limit at a given time) and wish they offered a failover mode support for AWS.

Regardless, i'm happy about the switchover.

Hard to configure. Connection established but routing ton working. Of course may be more setup required, but I won't pay for that.

Works now with version 2.7.4. Easy setup from instructions. Price could be better not sure if I will keep after free tier is over.
