"Super Easy Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

I use OpenVPN Access Server to connect to servers provisioned in AWS. I find the user management and custom scripts to be great features. We developed a script that uses the user's MAC ID to let them log in only using the device with that MAC ID. The initial setup of OpenVPN Access Server was super easy for me.

"Effortless Server Setup That Simplifies Our Business"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

The server is very simple to set up and get working with a few clicks. This made it really easy for us as a business. The support was top notch; receiving daily updates of how to do certain things and then an optional meeting to go through any questions I had where they explained a lot of the key services and points of information.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

I can't think of anything I dislike about the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable VPN with Strong Authentication and Seamless Cross-Platform Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adam Bullock of OpenVPN Access Server

Appreciate the review, Aude. Thanks for trusting OpenVPN. I'll send over your feedback on advanced features to the team here, and we have been improving on onboarding experience to help guide new customers through setup.

"OpenVPN a True Partner for Remote Workers"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

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.

Response from Adam Bullock of OpenVPN Access Server

Thanks for this! We offer integration with many virtual private cloud platforms - including AWS. We know this is something our customers want, and continue to roll out new integrations every quarter.

"Great VPN solution to grant access to business network"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

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.

Response from Adam Bullock of OpenVPN Access Server

Thanks for the review, Joseph, appreciate it! Happy to hear Access Server works with your use case, especially with SAML (linking to documentation below for anyone curious).

"Straightforward Web Interface That Works Perfectly on the First Try"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

I really like the web interface because it makes managing users and certificates very straightforward. On top of that, it connects successfully on the first try and works perfectly on any computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Visually, the interface feels a bit dated. It’s functional, but it could really use an update to a more modern design. That’s all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Setup Makes Deployment a Breeze"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenVPN Access Server?

Ease of setup for the end user. We had to deploy about 20 OpenServer Appliances in about 2 months. Getting the end users setup and working was a breeze Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenVPN Access Server?

Not having Port Groups setup for server access. If I need someone to have access to one server and just RDP (for example), i need to create 2 rules (1 for TCP and 1 for UDP). It would be nice to be able to bundle TCP/UDP ports together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adam Bullock of OpenVPN Access Server

Thanks for the review, and appreciate you being a customer! Love to hear how easy it is to setup for the end user, and I hope your experience with Access Server has made the migration from Sonicwall SMA worth it :)

Your specific feedback is appreciated when it comes to setting up rules and being able to bundle TCP/UDP ports together, I will pass that along to the team. Thank you!
