A little expensive don't you think?
Why would I spend $89/month or $700/year for a 10 device package when I can buy a 10 device package off your site for $150/year?

One of the best VPN clients on the market
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN is a great VPN tool. A lot of operating systems natively support VPN, however try to set one up and you will notice the limitations. OpenVPN is incredibly easy to setup and use. We use this tool to allow users to access the same network. Connecting is a breeze and there are no bugs. The software is also very secure. Importing certificates is also easy and with literally ever other VPN tool out there this is not the case at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you first install it through a web browser, you will be asked to login. I have found that for some reason this screen just hangs and does nothing. Not sure what that is about but it does not effect the functioning of the software. T
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN is used to allow users to access our internal network without being directly connected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stable and easy to use VPN client
A waste of time and effort
I used this AMI to set up a VPN server for my personal usage. It surely looks like working perfectly until you tried to actually connect to the server. It just keeps getting disconnected and can't use it at all.
