Best VPN solution for GCP architectures
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.

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
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.

VPN Protocol done right!
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
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
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.

OpenVPN works great
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN just works. The connection is always strong, great tunneling, easy to manage profiles and all-around ease of use with this product. I highly recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes client/employee profiles expire or stop working for no reason. It is very easy to fix but it still causes a minor annoyance from time to time. Other than that nothing stands out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved the issue of company resources that need to be secured being accessed by the right people at the right time. OpenVPN lets us lock certain data behind the VPN and increase security.
