I would recommend this to anyone whose business is growing and have higher needs than a basic VPN. The price is worth it if you need a VPN. There are more than one option for solutions to work with Open VPN - AWS being one of them. Name recognition works for me.

Better for our needs as we became larger. It is more technical than our previous software (Tunnel Bear) but the options are more vast. You can find what fits your needs and budget. It isn't just one option for all needs and here's your price.

In the beginning, the technical side of it was overwhelming but it paid off when we got our needs met and found a price we could work with.

It helps me boost my data connection and somewhat helps people connect with it.

Sometimes servers come crashing down and it affects your connection.

Solid, reliable VPN security

This is a good, reliable, secure way to accomplish the security of VPN. While it does drop connection from time to time, it seems better than others I've tried.

While the service works well, setup is intimidating and requires some previous knowledge with regards to networking.

It has been positive since it has fulfilled the requirements for which it was designed, it is efficient and of quality, I recommend it because it is a useful tool in relation to the security of personal and company information.

What I like most is that it is fast and secure when it comes to accessing content from other countries and protecting our network, especially when financial operations are carried out or simply increasing our security, which is more to install or antivirus, with this we can navigate in a safe way and its price is commensurate and I am really satisfied with this product.

Sometimes but very few connection errors have existed, however, they have been corrected quickly, the rest is very safe and reliable in relation to the funcinality and guarantee offered by the provider.

Professional use for file access and email servers.

I've used this to gain access to restricted work servers for email and storage. It works about 80% of the time to allow me to access the email and files stored there. Once installed, it's pretty easy to connect on a laptop and it's automatic on a phone (most of the time).

It's a little hit-or-miss, as previously stated. Every now and then, I need to manually connect my mobile device to the VPN, even though it should be automatic. It doesn't always play nicely with hotel networks so when I travel for work, I'm not always able to use the hotel wireless to check emails or access files.

OpenVPN is ideal for people who want to keep their networks safe and secure from prying eyes and hackers. I have tried many different VPN and for my OpenVPN beats them all, in functionality and in cost.

Sometimes it can take a while for you to find the best IP address and it can also slow down a bit your navigation but you will be completely secure.

If you need a VPN server I can recommend OpenVPN server to anyone. It has all the features for a VPN server.

OpenVPN has simple and easy to use GUI. It can be understand by any kind of user. Low learning curve. Cross platform support. Can easily setup VPN tunnels.

Sometimes automatic connection won't work. In windows 8 and 10 you will need administrative privileges to run the VPN connection.

We have several employees who exclusively work from home, and connect their machines to our secure on-site servers via OpenVPN. It is very usable, and its connectivity with Google Authenticator adds to the convenience and security we get from it.

All of our employees generally work from home, and OpenVPN Access Server makes it easy for them to do so in a secure manner.

At times the tray icon did not always represent the accurate status of the connection, even though the connection itself was reliable.

This software was easy to downloaded and worked every single time. I was able to use other software and apps while also using this.

I felt that I could not leave the VPN on for too long.

After many years of availability, there is a wealth of documentation and how-to tutorials available about how to quickly stand up OpenVPN servers. It runs on a variety of platforms and accepts a variety of client software options.

The text based configuration can be confusing for new admins to learn.

I have not really used many VPN applications, but it has not been necessary to try too many, because when I found Open VPN I did not have to search anymore, this application does not need to be downloaded, I use it directly in the cloud and it fulfills its function very well. which is to protect my IP in a very effective and free way, I love it.

It is difficult for me to indicate a disadvantage to an application that does its job very well and also I do not have to pay anything for its use, I really recommend it.

We have found that having a virtualized software that is used to run on our specialized hardware has been an easy process from the get-go. We have appreciated the many forms of easy deployment - highly recommend this product.

We have had a few issues when pushing DHCP options to Windows clients but were able to resolve those through the help of customer support.

I use it now to access some customers and solve many different problems, but in the past I have configured a VPN Server on a virtual machine for my graduation so others could access it and use the system I was developing there. It was very good in my opinion!

Its very easy, although very configurable, to setup a VPN Server with OpenVPN. There is a large amount of tutorials all over the internet regarding this, which make it very easy to get up and running. The errors that you may find along the road are detailed enough for you to search for help.

The way it works, sometimes, can cause problems with OpenVPN Clients when users have more than one VPN Client installed on their machine (like Global Protect). In consulting world the need to have more than one VPN installed on the same machine is very common, so not everybody is aware that OpenVPN can interfere with other VPN clients.

super cheap for a lifetime plan. Super useful for developers who need to change their location for testing.

The interface is simple without any real use besides selecting server and turning on. Would like to see a bandwidth monitor, server cpu useage, etc...

Open VPN is the best when it comes to using a virtual connection which gives full functions especially providing the details in the shell.

Setup is tough mostly because of IP authentication expiration.

Powerful and flexible. Like supports, various operating systems across versions and have seamless conn

There is nothing I don't like about this software, though some people say that it requires technical knowledge to use it, but it is meant for technical people so, I love Open VPN.

I use this VPN to access my client's servers and it is easy for me to have them protected and secure - while I can work normally on any kind of obstacles.

It's a great VPN that I often use to access clients. It is super safe, never gave problems. It's great if you're looking for extra security for your business!

Never had problems with this software, honestly. All spotless, with nothing to point out. very good.

It has enabled me to work from home, so I didn't have to go to the University to use very specific software. It has been a great experience.

It has enabled me to use software that my University is using, but from home. I couldn't have done that on my own, because I have to be connected through a special type of server. OpenVPN has helped me very much. I just entered the details that the software "asked me" to and was ready to use the software that I needed. It was really simple - so simplicity is what I like the most!

Cons in OpenVPN? I don't know if there are any. I didn't have any issues with it.

This software is easy to use and requires just basic computer skills to setup and run. It will connect your computer and cell phone devices to your VPN service for easy internet browsing encryption.

When restarting your computer make sure your software is open and connected to your 3rd party VPN service.

Simple program that establish VPN. I like the auto-startup. It can be a little quirky sometimes where you aren't connecting and you have to restart computer, but it is better than most.

bom

- Fácil de usar

- no GUI on openVPN

Good service with high security.

OpenVPN Clint is light weighted and VPN server is easy to configure.

It is not compatible with some of proxy servers.

OpenVPN is in my opinion one of the best option you have to set up a VPN for your employess/customers, because they can easily access your network with both their computers and their mobile phones without having to know much about how the VPN works.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to apply some restriction to the VPN users like for example limit duration or number of accesses per day/week.

- As an administrator I consider it easy to configure

- Some users have indicated that the configuration from their homes is not easy

excellent benefits open blocked pages and speed on the internet

its stability, and the ease of use, is quite stable to the connection and what I liked most was the variety of countries

I do not have anything negative to say I actually use it on my cell phone is the best I've tried

I installed OpenVPN on my private cloud system to provide remote VPN access. It's a complete, almost standard solution for IT techies and network admins who want a cost effective, secure, widely supported solution

Nothing really. I think that even spending some little time learning how to install and configure it is not beyond the normal

This is a good working VPN service for business who need data encryption travel and connection to a network.

This VPN software allows the company to remote into the office without issue. Its a good secure tunnel for business and personal data encryption.

The setup is a little tough due to the personalization but was able to get it working.

It's a free and simple VPN everybody can use easily without and connection problem as long as good config files.

Easy access to 3rd party remote servers in any region. You can use OpenVPN on PC and smartphone. The only thing you need is adding config file into program directory and then run it. It's that much simple.

There is nothing to complain about. You only need good quality of config file.

Provides excellent service especially per cost.

Easy enough for most users to understand how to set up. Pretty secure. Able to use in most settings.

Users without a stronger technical background will find managing the software difficult. Can be even more complicated in enterprise environments. In event of reconfiguration, a user of stronger technical background is needed.

Easy to setup Virtual Private Networking, generally works without much management.

Reasonably easy to setup, generally just works most of the time. Price is quite fair for what you get. Overall a good VPN solution.

Server management interface could use some improvement. Could use improved functionality around audit logging and other related configurations.

I have used this program for more than three years, although it has presented me incoherent on some occasions, I must say that it has complied with everything established, offers excellent servers to be free, with a stable and excellent speed to navigate, protect your data and stay in anonymity to prevent information theft, an excellent program for anyone.

Ease of connection, diversity of servers in different countries, free, ease of use and installation, network security, identity protection, stable speed, guaranteed anonymity.

Weakness in the connections, it does not offer support, the program does not notify if it is disconnected from the server, it can connect it to an unwanted server, the speed may decrease, it does not offer additional security.

This is a great piece of software that allows for secure browsing with a quick push of a button.

This was provided to me free with my ISP. I was allowed to securely connect to the internet through this VPN software after a simple configuration process. Fast, painless, and was up within minutes. I was able to use this software on my pc's and my smart devices.

I did not have any issues with this particular piece of software. The most difficult part was figuring out how to load the configuration on to my smart devices correctly.

Connect from the internet in a secure way

The installation is very easy, once configured you can add router tables in the ovpn.conf file to reach other networks

Its configuration is a bit difficult, and it has very few instructions to do it, the TUN / TAP interface, if it is disabled, does not indicate

Conexão segura

The application is very light at the moment of downloading it and executing it on the PC when installed correctly is very easy to activate

The installation and configuration are complicated in occasions does not allow an easy access via remote to the enterprise servers

Reasonably priced and the built-in cloud offerings are pretty nice if you'r e using AWS or Azure. Runs as a virtual appliance which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your use case.

Not as many features as some other options like Cisco or SonicWall.

Easy to install, no disconnects, FREE! Using on multiple PC's and servers.

Free option for site to site VPN. Allows me to connect to a third party remote server.

No real issues as long as you keep a good copy of the configuration file.

Really easy to use. It's a simple tool that allows you to connect to a vpn in an easy way

As it is a reaaly simple tool I cannot mention anything negative of this app

Open VPN server easy to install and easy to use. This is the best software that resolve my issues. Automatically get updates to secure connections. Reasonable price. I will recommend this VPN.

I would suggest customer support should be available via chat or email and phone. Overall it's good and fast connecting VPN.

Being able to connect with the same account on multiple platforms (Desktop PC, mobile etc.)

The lack of clear and easy to use menu's to customise / edit settings and log in information - feels quite restrictive and basic in that regard.

I use OpenVPN to access my company's network when I am working remotely. This keeps me productive no matter where I am. It works great and I have literally never had an issue with it.

I have used many other VPN clients before and OpenVPN is my favorite. All clients do a fine job of getting me VPN access when I need it, but OpenVPN keeps me connected while my laptop is off or asleep and it remembers my login credentials to make signing back in very quick.

I really have nothing to complain about. OpenVPN is a very simple and useful VPN client. I have used it for a while with zero issues.

I can have a secure connection to my server, So in public areas, using free WiFi is not source of worries for me anymore.

After connecting to the remote server, All connections to the Lan will be dropped. It means that It provides a real secure connection.

There is only the last version which is available on the website and I can not download previous versions from openvpn.net

It is fast. Many VPNs I have used in the past have provided a spotty connection into the company network, but this has been fast and seamless. I have run code to read and write on the network drives and it is almost as fast as doing it while connected directly to the system.

This really is a great software, but it may take up a little more filespace than other VPNs

Securely do my business

OpenVPN Access Server is one of the Safe VPN servic. Using many bigest companies. Another one is reasonable price.

OpenVPN Access Server is very secure. It's have many features and supporting major operating systems like that Windows, Android, Mac, Linux also

I love this app, its available for Windows PC and For android and iPhone users also can use this app

its good working and easy to use........

OpenVPN has helped to provide a stable, cross-platform VPN for our organization that is well worth the effort, but definitely requires a bit of effort to work through.

OpenVPN provides great, secure access into and through networks from all sorts of devices and configurations.

OpenVPN is a little complicated to setup, and does not provide an easy on-ramp for non-technical users.

I use OpenVPN to connect to our work network when traveling at at my home office.

It just works. I have used it is multiple countries and ISPs and have never had it not work. It is also very responsive.

Wish the UI was a bit more friendlier, having to edit connections with a text file is not that intuitive.

My overall experience with Open VPN is good. I hope they will improve more.

Open VPN is a popular vpn service. It has both free and paid version. I have used the free version. Even it's free but it works well with few limitations.

Like other vpn service Open VPN also can not hide all the IP address. Sometimes it becomes exposed. So you should be careful.

This is such a great product. We needed to lock down some tools to in-office IPs only but have remote employees. It was super easy to get everyone set up and going, usually, our team has trouble following instructions but everyone was able to handle it

We did see some issues with Mac users downloading the tool. we found a workaround for it and was able to get them set up.

The strength of security and the documentaion are the greatest features of this software tool. You can seek and find support by hundreds of users and developers on this software, so you feel always covered, whatever may happen.

It is a bit difficult for the moderate user to tweak the software and adjust all the necessary parameters.

We use this software as a main protocol for our VPN company. It is very easy to use, allows you to offer the services on multiple platforms and is safe.

It would be good if OpenVPN offered an easier solution for end-consumers, it's pretty simple to set up the VPN configuration for someone with experience. However, first time users usually need to follow helpdocs.

Alise

- Good easy and handy

Nothing I believe its small easy informative

When it works it works well. I don’t really have to worry about it once connected.

I may be a bit new to it, but I have had difficulties connecting to my VPN on occasions which has slowed down work considerably. I recently started using an older version of the software that has worked better.

To get in the internal server of an organization or just simply change your IP address are easily done by Open VPN.

Easy to connect and set up

There is no history/tracking tool to manage which server did users use/ at which time

This is a great solution for a DIY VPN. Many routers even have openvpn installed on them so you can simply install the certificates on your phone or laptop and connect back to your home LAN for security or access to the local network. If your router does not have this and you are somewhat tech savvy, you can set this up on a Raspberry Pi.

The app is a little cumbersome to use. A simpler UI would be nice.

Allows secure internet access at cafes, airports, etc.

Can be difficult to get VPN profile onto mobile devices.

I think it's a great standard that should continue to be developed.

Easy to setup point to point tunnels from other openvpn routers to other openvpn routers, cross platform compatibility with apple, windows, android, and linux devices, tons of support and the gui is very simple for windows users to use as along as they can remember to open it in the right hand corner of the tray and click connect first before trying to open other network resources like remote desktop or windows file sharing.

some of the windows 10 system had a bug where you had to right click and run as administrator for security issues to get the software's TAP adapter to successfully load so you could connect.

- Rapid setup - Easy configuration - Solid VPN connections

- Manual updates to client PCs can be a tad tedious

The amount of levels of privacy, types of security and other configurations make this a great product for anyone who knows exactly what they need for security.

OpenVPN has a large learning curve involved as it’s not necessarily ready “out of the box”

Based off the open sourced free version it tends to have updates for security problems fixed very quickly when they occur. Once configured it works smoothly. The LDAP integration for the business version is pretty slick

Configuration can be tricky depending on your certificate setups and your installation (specifically on windows, had some files in the wrong directory and in the wrong format initially). Updates are frequent which is good but aren't clandestine as I would expect them to be.

I like it and I use it every day!

1-There are too many solutions for one requirement. Cloud services, virtual appliance, and software packages.

1-Community edition setup is really difficult and only a professional can install it.

Good inexpensive vpn for a business.

We have been using it for a year for our office. It connection just fine and keep the connection for the most part.

We are getting a wire dns issues. We are not sure it is openvpn or our network connection that cause these issues.

Work from home benefit.

Fácil de usar.

Sometimes needed to reconnect the VPN because of not getting connected through the channel.

This Virtual Private Network allows me to access the website those work inappropriately OpenVPN Access Server is the best VPN software that resolves my issues which occurs while browsing. I will get updates off n on to secure connections.

I need customer support through email or chat but i am unable to contact with them, because i want to tell them about some issues.

I like it to work with both windows and linux, because many of the new computers in my country have this operating system, it downloads quickly and helps me change the VPN thus protecting my IP, so I recommend it.

So far what I can say as a disadvantage is that it was a bit difficult to configure it, but after the configuration everything becomes very easy.

It allows me to connect to all aspects of my company even when being a remote employee.

This software helps me connect to certain aspects of my company that I am unable to obtain in Pennsylvania, that I would be able to in the North Carolina Office.

My computer is sometimes glitchy when my computer is off for too long, it sometimes does not allow me to connect to the VPN. Not many hiccups though.

Excellent for having a secure connection to other work equipment

Excellent to connect by vpn to another remote place, easy to install and does not consume much broadband

There is a certain degree of complexity to configure the openVPN, you can use other tools to help the easy connection

muito rápido.

the only tedious thing is when configuring the server since it is a process that must be a bit of experience, but if it is just a client it is super easy to configure.

The things I like most about this software is the price point and the functionality. I specifically chose OpenVPN because it was a free piece of software that is integrated right into my Linksys router. I was able to set this up with little effort and no cost. For occasional use the speed was good and the availability was right.

What I like least about this software is, as with most free software, you are not guaranteed good service or support. This tool is open sourced and while the community is very helpful, the site is not laid out well and there is no solid support system that I have seen. Avoid this if you don't want a challenge if something goes wrong.

Free and secure access to online resources in my country.

-Always get updates on security protocols and add new servers to secure user connections.

-For less technical users it's almost impossible to configure the app for every environment.

If you are thinking about implementing a virtual private network you can be sure that OpenVPN is a solid, safe and functional choice.

It offers us a strong encryption and confidentiality protection, so that our traffic is encrypted so that it can not be examined in case of being intercepted.

It has some difficulty to configure it once installed but with practice it becomes easy. The interface could be more friendly.

It is very easy to use, its installation is fast and simple, excellent documentation and support of your community. The connection is very stable and it's open source.

Its configuration is somewhat complicated for beginners, however after a short time of use it is easy to master it.

It is a great free VPN software that can be used to create a call back VPN. Often found very useful for customers that do not have VPN software that allows us to create a secure tunnel back into our environment while providing remote management securely.

So far I have not found any issues with OpenVPN. In most cases the access is allowed unless blocked by a proxy server.

Like other reviewers have said, the set up is a bit difficult at first but once you get through that, the service itself is fast, secure, and the connection itself is reliable. It rarely drops for me.

The set up made me struggle. I am a pretty average software user, I'm not too much of a computer whiz so I don't appreciate when the set up is difficult... the UI is also outdated but this is not a major problem for me.

It gives me the freedom to change my IP address.

OpenVPN is available for Ipads, Android and PC and gives you the flexibility to change your IP: address.

The first impression of the software is it is difficult to setup compared with other services, however after some time you get used to it.

Generally stable and excellent product. It is rock solid, secure and extremely reliable. Overall, a great product

The design could be better, it is a simple click button to connect/disconnect option. the latest update seems to have affected the performance, not as reliable as before.
