OpenVPN Access Server Reviews

In our country, there is a problem with accessing some sites. Therefore, we need to use OpenVPN. We also use it to access our server.

The solution is very easy to use. It's very direct. It always just works when we need it to. The performance is good. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale well.

The initial setup is fast and easy.

The interface could be a little bit better in future iterations. 

I can't remember how long I've used the solution. It's likely been around six years. 

The solution offers good performance. It is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It makes access simple. 

The product can scale well. 

We have 40 or 50 people using the product at this time. 

As remote work increases, we likely will expand usage. 

We haven't needed any additional support so far. 

We did not previously use any other services similar to this product. 

It is easy to set up. It just works right away. 

It takes a very short amount of time to deploy it. I found the process to be quite fast. We deployed in minutes, as I recall. 

A company would only need one person to handle the deployment process. 

We did not need any outside assistance or support for the implementation process. 

I'm unsure of the exact licensing costs. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. 

I'd recommend this product to other users and companies. 

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. 

Initially, we implemented this OpenVPN client. We have Google Authenticator with OpenVPN, so we have multifactor authentication for the users.

The best thing is that it is open source and free of cost.

It's secure.

It's a good solution for small firms. 

You do need expertise in implementation if you do the initial setup yourself. As it is open-source, if you run into issues, there is nobody available to help you. 

We can have more interfaces with the Active Directory. For example, if you want to integrate, it's not really working very well as an authentication method. 

Security-wise it's using good protocols like SecureONE, similar to AnyConnect. However, implementation-wise for the interfacing to the AD and interfacing to the Authenticators, it's a bit difficult. We had updated this a year before, and we had to revert it back to work with Google Authenticator.

I've been using the solution for about five years or so.

While it is stable, I would warn that while doing the updates, there is a concern. If you are doing an update, you should have a full backup and consider the functionality so that it runs as expected. You might have to redeploy the product again in order to do a proper update. 

We have maybe 50 to 100 users on the solution. It's a small server. It might be able to scale a bit more, however, we haven't really tried to do that.

We have the free version installed. We don't have a support contract.

The initial setup is complex. 

We tried initially with Centaurus and it was not really working. 

The deployment itself took about three weeks. It was a bit time-consuming. 

It's free to use. We have an open-source version. 

You would need to pay extra for support. It's not as costly as Cisco or Fortinet, and therefore investing a bit extra in support may be worth it. 

The solution is at a client location. I'm not sure which version they're on. 

It's critical to understand the solution if you decide to use it, and if it is a necessary solution that you need to depend on, you should have some sort of support contract in place. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

We use the solution to communicate with our servers located in the office.

OpenVPN Access Server is a simple and easy-to-use solution that I can use myself without anybody's help.

I used OpenVPN Access Server for personal use for VPN access, such as browsing the internet with the Brave Internet browser.

The most valuable feature of OpenVPN is that it is open source. I can do anything with the solution, such as change, build, and collect. Additionally, it is safe to use the solution and there are frequent updates.

The stability of the solution could improve.

I have used OpenVPN Access Server within the last 12 months.

I rate the stability of the OpenVPN Access Server a nine out of ten.

I am using the solution only for myself.

I have not contacted vendor support. I solve issues myself.

Setting up the OpenVPN Access Server is a straightforward process that can be completed within minutes. As someone knowledgeable in technology, certain tasks come easily to me, whereas others may find them challenging. However, I found the implementation process to be effortless.

I use the command line interface to install the solution with a few commands.

I did the deployment of the OpenVPN Access Server myself.

OpenVPN is an open-source solution. If the solution is used for personal use it is free. For non-personal use, the solution can be expensive.

The solution works well if you have a good internet connection. If the connection is not stable it is not the fault of the solution.

I would advise others to use this solution, it works well.

I rate OpenVPN Access Server a nine out of ten.

I use OpenVPN Access Server for my private network area and analytics. It makes it easier to log into my network.

I like that it's free.

It could be faster. It could also be more stable.

I have been using OpenVPN Access Server for three years.

It could be more stable.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability a seven.

The initial setup is a bit complicated, but it's not an issue if you Google it.

I implemented this solution by myself. 

OpenVPN Access Server is free and open source.

I would tell potential users that OpenVPN Access Server is best for small businesses.

The primary use case for me is to encrypt my traffic to the Internet and protect my privacy on my home network.

One of the valuable features of OpenVPN is that it is free. I have set the default routes to the VPN server so that all traffic is encrypted.

One area for improvement in OpenVPN is the ability to selectively terminate connections. If the program could list active connections and provide an option to delete or kill them, it would be a useful feature. This would save users the trouble of having to restart the entire program each time they need to terminate a connection.

I’ve been working with OpenVPN for two years now.

It is a stable product.

The initial setup is straightforward.

You do not need a professional team to deploy the solution. I did it myself and it took around half an hour.

You don’t need to buy anything to use OpenVPN. But if you want access to the enterprise version, you need to buy a license for that.

OpenVPN's usage depends on the network preferences and deployment complexity.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We are using Access Server to put some of our internal systems behind VPN so that they won't be accessible externally. We are customers of OpenVPN. 

The solution is user-friendly and easy to implement. It's a good product and it works as expected.

There is occasionally some instability but that is due to issues with our internet connection, and is not related to the product. 

I've been using this solution for a year. 

The solution is stable unless there are internet issues unrelated to the product.

The solution is scalable. 

The initial setup is very easy. We have 150 users in the company. We have a team of 15 DevOps and IT that maintain it and other solutions in the company. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

I have an accounting office and I am using OpenVPN to access customer networks. I am an accountant, so I installed a PSN for all my clients and they allow me to access their networks and accounting server to do the closing of accounting every month. I use OpenVPN to access the networks.

I would like to see continued advanced security implementation.

I have been using OpenVPN Access Server for the past five years.

The stability is very reliable in my experience.

I have found that OpenVPN Access Server is scalable.

I have not had to contact technical support at this point.

The setup is straightforward and deployed in less than an hour.

The price point is fantastic since it is free.

I would rate OpenVPN Access Server a nine out of ten.
