Secure, Cloud-Native Connectivity with Zero Trust and Centralized Control
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about OpenVPN CloudConnexa is its ability to deliver secure, cloud-native connectivity without the complexity of managing traditional VPN infrastructure. It combines Zero Trust principles with centralized policy control, allowing organizations to securely connect users, sites, and applications through a single fully managed platform. The flexibility to support remote access, site-to-site networking, and applicationlevel access along with strong visibility, scalability, and easy integration with hybrid and multi-cloud environments makes it a powerful and modern networking solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
One potential drawback of OpenVPN CloudConnexa is that, as a fully managed cloud service, it offers less deep-level customization and control compared to self hosted or appliance-based VPN solutions, which may not suit highly complex or legacy-heavy network environments. Some organizations may also find the pricing structure higher than traditional VPN setups at scale, especially for large user bases, and advanced configurations can require a learning curve for teams transitioning from conventional network architectures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN CloudConnexa solves the challenges of providing secure, scalable, and easy-to-manage connectivity for Amrut Software and our clients by replacing complex, hardware-centric VPN solutions with a cloud-native, centrally managed platform. It eliminates the need for multiple appliances and fragmented access policies, streamlines secure remote access for users, and enforces consistent Zero Trust security across distributed environments. This benefits Amrut Software and our clients by reducing infrastructure overhead, improving network reliability and performance, simplifying administration and policy control, and enabling faster, secure access to critical applications and resources, ultimately enhancing productivity and customer satisfaction.
Simple, stable connection – quickly set up thanks to Teltonika pre-configuration
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, stable connection to customer networks. Additionally, there is a ready configuration for Teltonika routers, which significantly simplifies the setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't find the wizard directly. I wish I could add and edit new devices and networks more easily, because those are the only things I do in it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to be able to quickly access customer systems and networks for support. My employees are not network technicians and should therefore be able to set up a functioning VPN tunnel to the customer easily and promptly.
Robust Security with Easy Configuration and Fast Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like using OpenVPN CloudConnexa for a secure connection to my AWS. I appreciate that only allowed employees can access my AWS, which is important for maintaining security. I find the ease of configuration a major plus, as well as the support speed. Additionally, I value the limited IP range capability that makes our AWS more secured. The initial setup was easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our security corporate policy would like OpenVPN CloudConnexa to publish IP range to do whitelisting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OpenVPN CloudConnexa to secure connection to my AWS, ensuring only allowed employees can access it. I like the ease of configuration and fast support. Limiting the IP range enhances my AWS security.
Resolve big problems in a great way
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent for solving accessibility problems on different production plants
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so easy to configure, requires specific skills
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to OpenVpn Cloud Connexa we were able to have VPN even on plants equipped with a Starlink internet connection (without a business subscription) which does not allow the use of any type of VPN

My 3 year journey with OpenVPN CloudConnexa
What do you like best about the product?
Over the past three years of our CloudConnexa journey, we've surpassed 1,000 active connections, a testament to the platform’s seamless integration capabilities and, most importantly, the reliability of those connections.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback I’ve experiencing is that creating multiple new network connections through the UI can be time-consuming, as each network must be created sequentially rather than in bulk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our business, we connect thousands of small business locations to our platform. OpenVPN Cloud has been instrumental in enabling a VPN model for these locations with minimal configuration effort, allowing us to scale quickly and securely.
Impressed with the latest security features (Shield needs work)
What do you like best about the product?
All in all, lately there have been quite a few improvements (beta features), especially around security. As a customer, it gives a lot of confidence that the service is being actively improved.
Specific features I really like:
- Location Context. If you only operate from certain countries, this is a quick no-brainer to turn on. You can customise with access groups to further limit (e.g., all your devs are based in the UK, whilst the sales team is based in the US).
- Device Posture. It's easy to create policies like "only allow Windows 11+, with Defender, and Full Disk Encryption" to connect to the VPN or to specific subnets.
- "Device Verification with Learn and Enforce" + "Device allowances number" + "device posture" makes sure that only the devices you want are allowed on the VPN.
- "DNS Logs" paired with "Log Streaming" is great for forwarding vpn logs to a centralized SIEM for alerting and investigations.
- It integrates well with Google as the IDP with SAML. Also, the mapping of IdP groups to OpenVPN Groups, which you can then use to restrict access to specific subnets (e.g., members of devs@company.com have access to subnets X & Z, whilst members of admins@company.com can access subnets X, Z, & Y).
- Shield, which does some filtering even with split tunneling turned on. More on improvements later.
- Good how-to guides and great & prompt support from the engineers!

What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, "Shield" seems to be targeting metrics more than security. Domains and traffic only show aggregated data, useful for stats and trends, but it lacks the granularity that would make it useful during an incident response.
For example: Shield > Overview > Blocked traffic: only shows the category "Vulnerability/Exploits" and, when double-clicked, it shows the device name (useful), a percentage (useful for stats but not for investigations), a count (marginally useful for investigations as you can determine how many users hit it), but the most important aspects are missing: which domain was being resolved and when it was visited (or resolved). I'd like better visibility of which specific domains each user/device has visited, with timestamps, which would greatly help incident responses. Ideally, you would have:
{
timestamp (currently missing),
domain (currently missing),
reason for blocking/flagging/severity/class (present but needs improvements),
device_id (present),
user_id (present)
}
And I'd love those entries to then be forwardable to an external SIEM via the Log Forwarding.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a VPN, so grants users remote access to (cloud) infra. It's easy to deploy, seems to consistently improve its security features, great (human!) support, and it's quite cost-effective
Very Satisfied

THey went beyond the call to solve my issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a bad experience. My route was a bit out of date and I was unable to use the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote access to an industrial PLC and Webserver. They were not able to help as the router was a lower version
Fast, helpful and stress free

When contacting their agents the process went very well and I was really pleased with how the situation was dealt with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much really - more features would be nice but Enhancement requests are always round the corner!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had an error on retrieving information based on observed domains and they managed to help me solve the issue through the engineers.
