Stable VPN solution
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 three 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.

Using an on premiss access server for many years now. It works fine, is stable and performant, and brings security to the home office users.

Easy to Deploy VPN Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I have used OpenVPN at two startups I worked at and personally. My teams use the VPN daily. They offer a free license with all features for up to two concurrent users making it easy to evaluate before committing. It offers key features like SAML auth and advanced VPN configurations. It also is very easy to deploy via AWS or GCP marketplace or just installing via a package manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not cheap once you need more that 2 concurrent users. I wish they would offer another tier that was cheaper.

Easy to use and great docs to set up

Create VPN that routes through EC2 instance so that users can access sites with whitelisted IP address.

Permettre à mes clients de se connecter de façon sécurisée à leur postes de travail
Je dirais que comme évolution, il faudrait une solution pour pouvoir limiter les accès client à certaines IP... mais c'est peut-être là une limite structurelle au VPN ?!

Value for Money vpn solution
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of signing up, ease of installation, ease of creating vpn tokens, and administering. Most importantly very cost effective as users grow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users have to jump from 2 free to 5 paid. So, if you want 3 or 4 users, it's not possible and you will end up paying for unused licenses.
