"Wonderful VPN software from the FOSS community"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

With the latest recent releases, the amount of modern integration with authentication services has been a treat. We specifically use Okta and the integration was quick and easy. Being a FOSS project and running on Linux means amazing stability and performance. With the ability to have a horizontally-scaled infrastructure and a central SQL DB makes this a great product for even larger organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

I will say that the free license restriction of 2 simultaneous users for smaller use cases is a bit limiting. If you had 5-10 free simultaneous users with the free license, I think you'd attract more companies into the fold and they could grow into the product naturally.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Documentation is not very easy to manage and figure out. I had to rely on trial and error due to incomprehensible and overly complex documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall easy to setup and configure. Online documentation is easy to follow and helpful support!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

Support was quick and direct to the point to resolve issues. Documentation is detailed. Configuration is easy to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Cannot really think of any, other than pricing was very competitive until 2024, when there was a drastic increase, thus forcing us to decrease our licences compared to what we used to have, and then incrementally increasing licenses to fill our max needs versus having extras always available.

Response from Adam Bullock of OpenVPN Access Server

Thanks for the review - and appreciate the note about the detailed documentation. We do our best to get our customers whatever they need in whichever environment they need it! I hear you on the pricing, I'll pass that along to the team as feedback. Thank you!

"Reliable VPN Service That My Company Is Using To Let Employees Work From Home"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

What I love most is how easy it is to use! When I’m at home and need to access my company’s internal network, it takes just a few seconds to connect. Unlike other software products we use, the licenses aren’t tied to the number of employees, but rather to the number of concurrent users. Since our employees typically work from home just one or two days a week, this approach makes much better use of our licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

I remember that installing and getting it to run for the first time was quite a hassle, but that was over six years ago. I’m confident they’ve made significant improvements since then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
