OpenVPN Access Server Reviews & Product Details

We deployed an OpenVPN on an Ubuntu VM. The installation is straightforward, and no need to mess with the complex firewall rules. We use Microsoft Azure Entra ID, so integrating SAML for single sign-on was a big win. Our team was a mix of Windows laptops and Mac OS machines. The OpenVPN client works seamlessly across all platforms. I was able to assign specific access rules to different users, which helped us maintain regulatory compliance and reduce unnecessary exposure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While logs are available, I wish there were more built-in analytics, like bandwidth usage per user and connection history dashboards. Setting up split tunneling and custom routes is not an easy task. It's scalable, but we need to work plan for adding more than 50 users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenVPN Access Server is a highly reliable solution. I especially appreciate its strong authentication features, which integrate easily with AD, LDAP, or RADIUS. Its comprehensive cross-platform compatibility also ensures that all users experience stable and consistent connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up advanced features like NAT, ACLs, or routing is not straightforward and demands a strong understanding of networking concepts. Additionally, gathering and logging comprehensive information about active sessions can be quite challenging unless you use external tools or custom scripts.

I work remotely for a US company, and I have to access the US servers, which requires my location to be in the US. Many of the other VPNs provide remote access; however, they are very slow. Over the past couple of years, OpenVPN has improved its speed and provides the best speed I have seen. The UI design is very minimalistic and user-friendly. The best part is that it is beginner-friendly as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will be best if it can be integrated into cloud platforms like AWS, Databricks, as well. This will be more useful, and we can access it directly in the cloud tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that OpenVPN Access Server supports MFA and SAML for client login. We had used the built in MFA previously using Google Authenticator, and now client login via SAML and we MFA on the SSO side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used OpenVPN for years now and like it quite a bit. Managing a cluster of VPN servers could use some iteration and improvements but it pretty solid all things considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quite frankly, I do not use the OpenVPN Access Server. I just use OpenVPN to VPN-into my Raspberri. After having used it for 2.5 years, to full satisfaction, it stopped working. Some inspection revealed that the certificates were invalidated. As I did not remember how I got this all to work, I contacted the help-desk. Within an hour I received an answer plus a pointer to where to find the info on fixing this. 2 hours later everything worked again. I have recently had some other interactions with Customer Support of other, rather expensive products. If all Customer Service Support would work as well as OpenVPN, wow, then the world would be a much better place! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I actually contemplated installing OpenVPN Access Server instead of fixing the old, single user OpenVPN. I found it very complicated from the outset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenVPN Access Server is very easy to use, and the management and isolation of networks and sub-networks is really simplified. The connection in SAML really facilitates user connections, especially for the administrator. The support is excellent, always a response in a very short time and very quick commercial follow-up. I recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be interesting to have more autonomy in managing licenses, being able to add or remove them according to the client's needs without necessarily having to go through the sales representative each time. This is just a detail and maybe an idea, but nothing serious in itself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its easy to set up even on the first time installation on the system. Thanks to the documentation and simple architecture ui interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are on the right path. But not sure on the service support side as I personally haven't faced any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
