There is a slowness when we connected to openVPN... they need to fix this problem otherwise even if we have high speed internet we are not able to access the online application seemlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has resolved our security issues while we are accessing our certain application whose exposure to public domain is not safe. So we use OpenVPN to resolve this problem.

What do you like best about the product?
It was very easy to install and configure through GCP's deployment marketplace. I've rarely contacted Customer Support, since it works smoothly out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not much about the Access Server but more about the lack of elasticity in its implementation as an instance. Running as a containarized solutions should fix this.

Secure access to our internal GCP assets.

Virtual private network solution that provides secure remote access to network resources.

  • March 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The OpenVPN Access Server is a virtual private network solution that offers safe remote access to network resources. It is simple to deploy and use and has a web-based management interface to make setting up and managing the VPN easier.
It can be integrated with third-party authentication systems and user management tools and installed on many platforms, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.
Data is transferred securely through the VPN using industry-standard encryption methods and protocols, a must-have feature in our business. Also, it allows two-factor authentication, which raises the bar for authentication security.
What do you dislike about the product?
OpenVPN Access Server can be expensive for companies, significantly larger ones that need more licenses.
Another potential issue is that the software may not be suitable for high-traffic environments or large-scale enterprise networks, as it may not handle many concurrent connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN Access Server solves the problem of secure remote access to network resources, allowing users to connect to their organization's network from remote locations while ensuring the security and privacy of data. It benefits organizations with remote workers who must provide secure access to sensitive information to authorized users outside their physical network. OpenVPN Access Server's security features, such as encryption and authentication, help protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.

Best Solution to secure Private Network

  • March 11, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are using OpenVPN to access our private Network on GCP/AWS, our whole GCP / AWS infra can be accessible using OpenVPN file only. We are using this to securly SSH in our virtual machines & Cloud SQL instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall it's good. But sometimes when we connect with OpenVPN, we face internet issues. But after reconnecting it solves our issue. Still recommend to use for making your infrastructures security strong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to SSH our servers securely. Early it was public / accessible through our office internet only. But we were looking to make it accessible from anywhere. So we were looking for a central network, here OpenVPN comes in picture. We setup one proxy network through this. And it solved our issue. Now we can connect with this using VPN file.
