More security and digital privacy

  • February 15, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Today companies are looking for more security and digital privacy, OpenVPN is an open source encryption protocol that provides both, is powerful and flexible and is compatible with Linux, Windows and Apple, I use it to connect remotely to my company's network and configure users and accesses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it becomes a bit slow and is a bit technical and complex for novice users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN helps me control the connections and data access in my organization, we have modified it to fit our needs and it has improved the monitoring of remote workers remarkably.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a free service but complicated to use without prior knowledge, in a company is very useful because it offers options to configure and modify the code, but for domestic use I recommend paying for a simpler vpn service.

When OpenVPN goes down the network is paused for repairing which really ensures no data loss or data corruption.This acts as another layer of security.This has also got world wide support community.

Setting up OpenVPN is really hard for a beginner.

we try to connect to the US servers from India because client's URL's are only accessible from the US servers.

Excellent, Open-Source, and Affordable

  • October 03, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that OpenVPN takes the complexity out of establishing remote connections and makes things super-easy, reliable, and a breeze to troubleshoot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Under macOS, I'd prefer the OpenVPN client to be baked into the operating system, rather than a separate user-mode application, so that connections can be established BEFORE login occurs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting to internal systems located in various parts of the world without the need for a Public-facing Internet connection
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The server portion is free and open-source, easy to implement, and the clients are mostly straight-foward, though may not fit your enterprise deployment strategy.
