You have access to many servers

What do you like best about the product?
When you travel from on continet to anotger for work, using just one server will reduce your internet speed, specially when in some places the local internet speed is less than 1 meg per sec, therefore using a server in us whike you are in Africa is not fissible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime I receive security error when I am using this VPN, and it usually gets fixed by changing the server
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In many places internet access to many websites, even telegram and skype are filtered

The OpenVPN Access Server works very well. I can create a tunnel to it from any of my devices as well as my router using OpenWRT with openvpn-openssl

What do you like best about the product?
The option to configure a whole site for all profiles created within that site.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it disconnects from the network automatically, so have to manually re-connect it, though we have found a way to not disconnect and a few workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are connecting the Dr.'s database to the Dr's website, so that other referring docs can see patients stats. Also patients can log in and update their info and set appointments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We also use it for connecting to the office vpn, easy setup for vpn profiles and easy to manage.

Getting connected with Open VPN.

  • November 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact of being able to be used for free and the easy steps to configure.
What do you dislike about the product?
The availability of only two clients accepting connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security issues, ethic hacking testing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a few settings in OpenVPN that I found useful. In Windows, it can be launch when booting. You can "silent" the incoming notifications. For even greater security and privacy you can add a proxy too. On the advanced settings for Windows, you can change the folder of the configuration files, setting the script timeout settings, and running the program as a service.
