Access Server Reviews

It's deployable on every cloud platform. So you can always have a few servers to pick from.

I wish they had an auto setup like outline. Sometimes you just don't have the time.

Good performance and ease to use before a few months

Not so easy for install. There is a lot of documents about this but still a barrier to enter.

OpenVPN is useful when traveling and needing to connect to unsecured wifi networks.

Some countries detect the usage of OpenVPN and block it.

One thing most paid VPN programs do not offer is complete customization. From how your server operates to how the client on your device works, OpenVPN offers quite a lot of features for a free program.

For the average user, OpenVPN is not recommended because you need to set up your own server. It is not a 'plug-and-play' VPN solution. You also need to pay some amount to simultaneously use the VPN service on several devices. This is an extra cost considering you still need to pay for server hosting as well.

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.

I recently installed the vpn server and it was really simple. Offers complete vpn functions and excellent iOS, Windows and MacOS clients.

the Linux client is not at the level of the other clients in terms of ease of use, otherwise I find no defects.

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.

Have been using this in various environments. Most recently on my home OpenWRT router. It's so easy to set up and configure.

There aren't many things I dislike. The community version of the client is a little cut back, but this is what you'd expect.

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
I don't know this is the issue of software or my knowledge, but I couldn't have two concurrent connections from different devices at the same time. So I had to create two different users for two devices.

OpenVPN is free to use and is compatible with many systems (e.g. Windows, iOS, Android) which is a huge advantage. I use it for VPN when I am out of office and I have never had any problem with its performance.

I didn't find any disadvantages of this software since it is open-source and it can be installed for free.

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 like that I can setup OpenVPN at the router level for my organization and not have to install a VPN client on each device.

OpenVPN degrades performance noticeably (i.e., about 66%) compared to unprotected internet access.

software is great make everything surfing wise better for those having trouble with linking there most loved sites

software is great and exceeds expectations so i recommend this software

Really easy to use, and super compact. You can connect and create a vpn server really quickly.

Requires a lot of knowledge to do it good and secure, and should be more explanations

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

It is not compatible with some of proxy servers.

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

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.

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

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.

It's very easy to setup specially for mac users. You just have to download the file with the configuration and select it, that's it. Very easy for everyone

After a couple of hours using the VPN it would randomly disconnect. You have to completely turn off your wifi and the VPN and then turn them on again.

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...
