Flexible, Easy, and Secure Access to Windows Desktops and Apps

One of the things I like most is how it combines flexibility, ease of use, and strong security. It’s straightforward to connect and get a reliable connection, which makes it easy for both technical and non-technical teams to implement without issues. I also appreciate that it provides access to Windows desktops and applications.

Easy to Use, Quiet in the Background, and Regularly Updated

I like that it offers a wide variety of countries to choose from for dedicated IP addresses, which lets us pick the best option for our specific use case. I also appreciate how easy it is to use, and that it runs quietly in the background while you work. On top of that, it’s great that the application is updated regularly, so it continues to improve with each update.

Intuitive Interface and Easy Network Profile Switching Across Any OS

I like that it has a very intuitive, user-friendly web interface, which allows even employees without technical knowledge to start using it quickly. I also appreciate how easy it is to save and switch between different network profiles depending on the team’s needs. Furthermore, it runs smoothly on any operating system.

What is OpenVPN?

OpenVPN is a network security company that builds secure connectivity software for the modern workforce, offering two complementary products — Access Server and CloudConnexa — each purpose-built for business and SMB (small and midsize business) use, spanning everything from self-managed on-premise deployments to fully managed cloud-delivered security. Access Server is a self-hosted VPN server application that gives businesses secure remote access to their private network, applications, and data. As business VPN software, it can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise, making it a flexible VPN for business teams that are remote, hybrid, or in-office — whether that's a VPN for small business or an enterprise VPN environment that needs high availability and clustering. Access Server layers in zero trust network access (ZTNA) fundamentals such as granular permissions, least-privilege enforcement, and device- and location-based verification, along with a built-in X.509 PKI, SAML/LDAP/RADIUS authentication, multi-factor authentication, and AES-256-GCM encryption, all managed through an intuitive Admin Web UI, CLI, and REST/XML-RPC API. CloudConnexa is a cloud-delivered zero trust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge (SASE) platform built as a single-vendor SASE solution for SMBs that want enterprise-grade security without enterprise-level overhead. Rather than self-hosting infrastructure, businesses connect through a fully managed Wide-area Private Cloud (WPC) spanning 30+ global points of presence, gaining continuous zero trust access, zero trust remote access, and zero trust application access to private apps and networks. Built-in IDS/IPS (Cyber Shield), content filtering, device posture policies, and zero trust access control extend zero trust network security and zero trust cloud security across every connection, while SSO, SCIM, and passwordless authentication simplify identity management. As a network access control solution with predictable SASE pricing, CloudConnexa gives growing businesses an alternative to piecing together tools from multiple ZTNA vendors or ZTNA providers. Together, Access Server and CloudConnexa give OpenVPN customers a choice between a self-hosted VPN server they fully control and a cloud-delivered SASE service that's managed for them, both purpose-built for business and SMB needs, and both grounded in the same zero trust principles that keep remote, hybrid, and in-office teams secure. Positioned as a remote access VPN, or simply a VPN for remote access, Access Server layers in essential zero trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities: granular permissions, least-privilege enforcement, and verification that connections come from trusted devices and locations. This makes it a strong secure remote access VPN choice for protecting sensitive data and isolating SaaS applications from the open internet. It also supports site-to-site VPN connections, extending your business network securely to remote offices. For deployment, Access Server offers real flexibility as VPN server hosting: pre-configured images are available for AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud, giving you a cloud VPN service option, or you can run it as an on-premises VPN on your own hardware. Whether you prefer a fully managed VPN experience or hands-on control, Access Server can function as a VPN-as-a-service through your infrastructure provider, and it pairs an intuitive Admin Web UI, REST/XML-RPC API, and command-line tools with strong security: built-in X.509 PKI, SAML/LDAP/RADIUS authentication, multi-factor authentication, and AES-256-GCM encryption. The result is one of the more complete VPN and ZTNA solutions for businesses that need scalable, cost-effective, and genuinely secure connectivity as they grow.
