Expensive and not so reliable
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy and quick to configure if you don't need anything too special. Its free part is widely used so it's easy to find help on some topics. Support is great, responds quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The web UI is very unlogical. It can be terribly slow at times. Some features that we would like to have are missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting the whole company to the intranet
Redirects to home page
I keep trying to login in the admin UI but it just ends up redirecting to the login page after I put in my details. Is anyone else facing this issue and does anyone know how I can solve it.
The latest version of OpenVpn not found
Why you don't provide the latest versions of OpenVPN?
I find just version 2.8.5.
There are a lot of security issues that resolved in the latest versions.
A heavy duty VPN for experienced users
What do you like best about the product?
Provides security that I don't have to worry about. It saves my log in information.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there is an issue, it's not straightforward and I have to rely on IT staff to help me fix it. Not user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's extremely secure and we've experienced few security issues as a result. We work remotely so knowing that we all have the same security standard online is extremely important.
This is not ready to be sold.
Hard to configure. Connection established but routing ton working. Of course may be more setup required, but I won't pay for that.
OpenVPN, a wonderful service that has details to repair.
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN allows you to surf the internet as if you were located at a specific geographical point, allowing you to enjoy the freedoms offered by this place. A particularity of OpenVPN is that it offers its service to companies so that its workers can work as if they were in the preferred site of this company. It is a service with an affordable price for anyone who wants to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, OpenVPN has sudden disconnections, which, in many cases, suddenly expels its users from the website they are working on. Sometimes I have had to test websites that can only be opened by residents of the UK, and when disconnecting OpenVPN I have been expelled from them, interrupting my work and sometimes preventing me from re-entering the site. It was these disconnections for no apparent reason that made us switch to Open VPN for Amazon Web Services, the latter offers a VPS service that is much more stable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the time, OpenVPN helped us to perform tests and any other kind of work on web pages that required an IP address that did not belong to the United States. However, due to its multiple disconnections we had to replace this with Amazon Web Services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that anyone who wants to use OpenVPN is to prepare to experience occasional disconnections from the service which could interfere with their work. If you don't mind this detail then this VPN is for you.
Route client traffic through openVPN doesn't work
The option to route traffic through the openvpn server to internet doesn't work. I followed all the steps carefully on the website.
