Effortless Setup, Essential for Remote Access
What do you like best about the product?
I like that OpenVPN Access Server is simple to set up and simple to use, making its simplicity the best part. I appreciate being able to set up groups and control their access to different places, which is key for me. It also integrates well with our Microsoft products, and the SAML authentication with profile locked configuration is super nice. Setting it up was super easy, just requiring an Ubuntu machine and some basic steps before installation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess if it had a little bit smaller price for self hosted version, maybe it could be even more appealing to a larger crowd.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OpenVPN Access Server to connect and access the office’s internal network easily. It's simple to set up and use. I like setting up groups and their access, which is key.
Reliable VPN with Easy Setup and Connectivity Glitch on Mac

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm working with still VPN, one for snow flag and one for post class. And, actually, I can work both with those both two in PC, it's work. But in Mac, it doesn't work. It's disturbed each other. Even though one of them doesn't change the IP at all.

Powerful Crypto, Surprisingly Approachable VPN Appliance
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about OpenVPN Access Server is the way it balances power with approachability. Under the hood, it’s doing serious cryptographic work, but on the surface it feels like a well-mannered appliance rather than a pile of config files just waiting for you to make one wrong move.
What do you dislike about the product?
The abstraction layer is a bit of a mixed blessing. The web UI makes common tasks straightforward, but as soon as you need to do something unusual, you can run into invisible walls. Not every OpenVPN feature is exposed in a clear or complete way, and when you drop down to manual config edits, it can feel like you’re suddenly fighting the system rather than extending it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves identity and access control for remote connectivity. Rather than juggling shared keys or brittle, static configs, you get per-user authentication, certificates, and straightforward revocation. As a result, when access needs to change, the blast radius stays small and predictable. For me, that means fewer “who still has access?” moments, and faster offboarding that doesn’t depend on hope.
Effortless Security with Intuitive GUI
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the GUI front and backend of OpenVPN Access Server. It's easy to use and very informative. The initial setup was easy as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think I have any specific reasons right now as it is still pretty new to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OpenVPN Access Server for external consultants to access company systems, connecting to cloud apps not open to the public.
Seamless GSuite SSO Integration Makes It Stand Out
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the fact that it can be integrated with GSuite SSO. That is the primary reason we chose this solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not natively support IPv6. Our environment is 100% IPv6, so we had to do some extra tweaking to get IPv6 working correctly. It would be nice to have IPv6 more natively supported.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us, we needed a way for Employee's to remotely connect to our Corporate network and they have to be authenticated via GSuite. Your solution makes that easy, and straight forward.
Outstanding Support Makes All the Difference
What do you like best about the product?
The support team is great. It is pretty easy to deploy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Routing is a bit of chore. The default uses a nat, but if you want to route the network things get a bit complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
users can connect with a simple web interface. So, this makes things easy.
