Setup was easy and deploying was very easy as well. This worked well when other VPN options did not. The price was also good as well. We were using about 20 concurrent licenses, and the server we used was specced pretty low and we never had an issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
There wasn't really anything that we would change about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our other VPN was not functioning.

What do you like best about the product?
Setup and maintenance are easy enough. License management and license model are features I like the most.

Some trivial changes require restarting access server software. This causes all clients to lose connectivity and require a new login. For connections like SSH this is an inconvenience.

Provides an easy to maintain an manage solution for providing access to company internal network.

Stable VPN solution

  • March 01, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate the most about OpenVPN Access Server is its remarkable stability. We implemented a self-hosted server in our company over four years ago, and we have encountered no issues thus far. It operates swiftly and reliably.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like least in my experience with OpenVPN server is the web interface for creating access groups. While the interface allows you to create multiple groups with different routes to various networks, it does not allow you to name those routes. Consequently, over time, administration becomes quite challenging, as one cannot remember which network range corresponds to each.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company, we use AWS as our cloud provider, and within AWS, we have multiple private networks with numerous servers and applications. Thanks to the use of OpenVPN, our employees can access these resources privately and securely.
