OpenVPN Access Server Reviews

I have an accounting office and I am using OpenVPN to access customer networks. I am an accountant, so I installed a PSN for all my clients and they allow me to access their networks and accounting server to do the closing of accounting every month. I use OpenVPN to access the networks.

I would like to see continued advanced security implementation.

I have been using OpenVPN Access Server for the past five years.

The stability is very reliable in my experience.

I have found that OpenVPN Access Server is scalable.

I have not had to contact technical support at this point.

The setup is straightforward and deployed in less than an hour.

The price point is fantastic since it is free.

I would rate OpenVPN Access Server a nine out of ten.

It was very easy to set up users.

The high availability deployment is not very straightforward. They can make it simpler. 

OpenVPN does not support some of the additional protocols that Pulse Secure and Cisco AnyConnect support. They can include support for these additional protocols.

I have been using this solution for close to a year. I set it up and configured it. I also supported it from time to time and documented standard operating procedures because there were other people who were going to maintain it and operate it. We have about 15 users of this solution.

It was not very complicated. I did it for the first time, and for somebody who was doing it for the first time, it was okay. I could do it.

It is important to document the steps so that if one person is not available, another person can continue the work. 

I would rate OpenVPN Access Server a seven out of ten.

I primarily use Open VPN Access Server as a remote-access VPN to log into our infrastructure.

Open VPN Access Server could be more user-friendly.

I've been using Open VPN Access Server for three years.

Open VPN Access Server is fully stable.

Open VPN Access Server is scalable.

The initial setup was easy.

Open VPN Access Server is open-source and free of charge.

I would strongly advise anybody considering installing Open VPN Access Server to use it. I would rate it as ten out of ten.

We use the solution to access remote services. 

I want the tool to be faster. We have experienced connectivity issues while using OpenVPN and FortiClient. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

The tool is stable and I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

The tool is not scalable. We have two users for the product. 

The tool's setup is complex. The product's deployment takes 30 minutes to complete. We followed the tool's documentation to complete the setup. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. You need to study the solution's documentation and get familiar with it before implementing the tool in your organization. 

I use OpenVPN Access Server for my private network area and analytics. It makes it easier to log into my network.

I like that it's free.

It could be faster. It could also be more stable.

I have been using OpenVPN Access Server for three years.

It could be more stable.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability a seven.

The initial setup is a bit complicated, but it's not an issue if you Google it.

I implemented this solution by myself. 

OpenVPN Access Server is free and open source.

I would tell potential users that OpenVPN Access Server is best for small businesses.

I have used this solution for five years (2008-2013) as the company's main business solution, and then, for a year (2017), as a custom solution for secure AWS access.

I was using it on AWS to create secure access to internal VPC services. It is a lightweight, easy to setup solution.

Several years ago, I was working on a Consumer VPN service provider, and OpenVPN was a great base to provide such services. It is much easier to scale and troubleshoot compared to regular Windows-based VPN solutions or PPTP daemon.

• Easy to setup and manage
• Great documentation
• Community support

At the moment, I am not working too closely with the product.

No issues.

No issues.

On a scale of one to 10, I would rate technical support as a nine.

Just regular Windows Server PPTP/L2TP and Linux PPTP. OpenVPN is clearly better than the regular solutions.

50/50 (straightforward/complex). It requires some experience of Linux server configuration. If you are an experienced Linux user, setup is pretty fast and simple.

Enjoy implementing it!

The primary use case for me is to encrypt my traffic to the Internet and protect my privacy on my home network.

One of the valuable features of OpenVPN is that it is free. I have set the default routes to the VPN server so that all traffic is encrypted.

One area for improvement in OpenVPN is the ability to selectively terminate connections. If the program could list active connections and provide an option to delete or kill them, it would be a useful feature. This would save users the trouble of having to restart the entire program each time they need to terminate a connection.

I’ve been working with OpenVPN for two years now.

It is a stable product.

The initial setup is straightforward.

You do not need a professional team to deploy the solution. I did it myself and it took around half an hour.

You don’t need to buy anything to use OpenVPN. But if you want access to the enterprise version, you need to buy a license for that.

OpenVPN's usage depends on the network preferences and deployment complexity.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We use OpenVPN Access Server to connect from site to site from our data center to our customer site and to dial and access our VPN to our network.

I have been using OpenVPN Access Server for approximately one year.

OpenVPN Access Server is very stable.

I have found OpenVPN Access Server to be scalable.

We have approximately 10 users using this solution.

I have been using Palo Alto and the Fortinet VPN as a comparison to OpenVPN Access Server.

OpenVPN Access Server is complicated to deploy, but we have a script that helps us with it. If we are using a script, it takes us approximately 15 minutes to deploy and without a script, it will take much longer. The process could be easier.

We did the deployment of the OpenVPN Access Server in-house.

We are using the community version of the OpenVPN Access Server and it is free.

I would recommend OpenVPN Access Server to others.

I rate OpenVPN Access Server an eight out of ten.
