What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a SaaS Global Company & we wanted to use a VPN connection for our employees internally. We did evaluate couple of tools in the space mainly Cisco & Open VPN. Costs and maintainance of OpenVPN is far lower than cisco. It has all the features that an ISO aduit would require. Trust worthy tool & support is excellent
Great project but definitely not enterprise-ready yet

What do you dislike about the product?
Cons:
- in a cluster configuration it's impossible to customize all member servers from a single interface - admin UI switches you to a certain server and then you need to switch back to the cluster configuration; can't see all connected users (have to switch between cluster members)
- you can't restrict vpn connections to certain IPs/subnets for a user or group
- can't tweak vpn connections to fight against DPIs
- support team is responsive but helpless - all our feature requests were ignored by their developers
- no publicly available development roadmap
- inability to track vpn user activities as compliance requires

Reliable VPN Service That My Company Is Using To Let Employees Work From Home
What do you like best about the product?
What I love most is how easy it is to use! When I’m at home and need to access my company’s internal network, it takes just a few seconds to connect. Unlike other software products we use, the licenses aren’t tied to the number of employees, but rather to the number of concurrent users. Since our employees typically work from home just one or two days a week, this approach makes much better use of our licenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I remember that installing and getting it to run for the first time was quite a hassle, but that was over six years ago. I’m confident they’ve made significant improvements since then.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN Access Server enables our employees to securely and efficiently access the company’s internal network, ensuring that all data is encrypted and protected.

The initial setup and configuration can still be complex and the licensing costs can add up.
