Best VPN solution for GCP architectures

  • December 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It was straightforward to install. I added the Access server through the Deployments options in GCP. It created the VM, network and firewall rules for it to work. I just had to purchase the license through their website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Individual licenses can be a little pricey. Discount per volume (10+) would be desirable
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to protect our GCP architecture through private access.

working fine,
connecting my public and private servers / ec2-instances using private IP addresses from my location using putty without any issues...
Thanks a lot aws & Open VPN Team

Note: first configure VPN access Server in your aws Region,
Then login as openvpnas@<openvpn ser pub.ip>/admin
Configure it.... as admin.
2) login as openvpn@<vpn pub.ip>
download vpn client software, install in your local pc, create a profile, then only it will work without any issue.
3) you can create user accounts and assign passwords in VPN server also

A robust and simple VPN solution

  • September 26, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are using open vpn since many years to secure the access to our internal network.
It is a very simple & robust solution
The IT team administrate the solution, and every time we have a login / password pb they found a solution.
We are hosting the solution on our own servers, so it is a very cheap solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rustic interface, not nice design.
the logs are not really user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log to our own network securely

Super Fast VPN & Secure App

  • September 16, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN is a tool that uses open source, allowing its users to connect to any VPN. This is one of the reasons why it is highly rated in reviews and opinions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are bugs sometimes that slow down our connection, which is disadvantageous during meetings or client calls, especially when we are busy, but it's rare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VPN is useful because it allows us to work remotely. I have health problems and cannot go to the office, so this service makes me comfortable just as if I were at the office.

Why you don't provide the latest versions of OpenVPN?

There are a lot of security issues that resolved in the latest versions.

VPN Protocol done right!

  • August 12, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As an industry leader, wherever I go it seems I can use the OVPN protocol, which is very handy when deploying profiles, as I'm already up to speed with the software and requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much really, sometimes there are permission bugs when installing for End users, but this is usually due to Windows permissions rather than OpenVPN. It's easy to fix with reinstalls and restarts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As we prefer not to roll out proprietary software for every VPN provider we use, it's super simple to keep all our profiles in one place. Not much more than that to say about it to be honest.

A great open source VPN

  • July 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Since it's open source; you have full control on it. And you're certain that your connection is direct between you and your server. Works great on AWS EC2 instance and available ready in the marketplace.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it's between you and your own instances/servers, you'll have to manage and support yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure connection to connect to my VPC as well as connecting via public networks.

quite easy setup and use

  • June 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy setup options. First time I used OpenVPN for TryHackMe to access the TryHackMe virtual device. It was quite easy to set up as a begineer. One can save multiple access key files for different purpose.
What do you dislike about the product?
It keeps running in the background even if you are not accessing any VM right now. It drains the battery.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It creates a private tunnel to access the resources. Suppose I am working from home and I want to use my office PC that has more processing power. -- To access that pc privately I would connect it via VPN to maintain my privacy and prevent data leaks.
