What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps keep our system secure and threat-free, and it provides secure remote access so I can work from anywhere. New devs, QA, or vendor teams can simply be given a VPN account or an SSO group assignment; when they leave, removing that access in one place immediately cuts their access everywhere.

A Decade of Reliable, Easy-to-Admin OpenVPN Access Server
Reviewed on Feb 23, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using OpenVPN for over a decade. OpenVPN is easy for our users, simple to administrate, and has been reliable. Most importantly, in the last couple of years, the amount of effort being put into the product has really reflected on the administration side.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all the recent updates, I find it difficult to find anything I dislike about OpenVPN Access Server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN provides us the ability to keep our proprietary and sensitive data inside our domain and allows our users access to this information. We are not a cloud-using company, and need our data kept on-premise, so OpenVPN ensures we can do this.

Straightforward Web Interface That Works Perfectly on the First Try
Reviewed on Feb 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You don’t have to be a networking genius to use it. It’s a solid product that works well, gives me a lot of peace of mind, and stays super stable. For me, it’s really worth the price.
