Solid and reliable secure VPN that just works.

  • February 21, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Once its setup and configured it is a very solid and reliable secure VPN that is easy to use and integrate into your networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup is a bit involved and requires a Linux box to run on. Updating the software and Linux system does take some time and Linux knowledge. If a user changes their MFA device, ie Phone, it takes some administration to setup the new MFA prompt to add the new device for the end user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to secure connections to our AWS environment. It is easier and more reliable than what we've had in the past as far as VPN software goes.

OpenVPN AS is a well-supported, robust VPN solution.

  • February 20, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about OpenVPN AS is that it is pretty much literally a turn-key product. They have a virtual appliance available that works out of the box with NO installation, per se, required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of AS, however is that a lot of the detailed configuration and control options are only available via a command-line interface, which is not exactly intuitive. It is, however, quite well documented and there are numerous forums online where you can find how-to-do whatever it is you are needing to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VPN access for our 100+ reporters, editors and creative staff
