What I like best about OpenVPN Access Server is how quickly it lets you deploy a secure remote-access VPN without getting lost in complex configuration. The web-based UI is clean and intuitive, so even when managing users, certificates, or access control, everything is centralized and easy to navigate. Compared to traditional VPN setups, it saves a lot of time during initial deployment and ongoing maintenance. From a workflow perspective, the integration with directory services (like LDAP/Active Directory) is a big win—it simplifies user management and avoids the need to maintain separate credentials. The client provisioning is also very smooth; users can download pre-configured clients, which reduces support overhead significantly. Performance-wise, it’s stable and reliable for day-to-day operations, even with multiple concurrent users. I’ve also found the flexibility in routing (split tunneling vs full tunnel) useful depending on the use case. Another strong point is its balance between cost and value. You can start small and scale as needed, which makes it practical for both lab environments and production use. Plus, the documentation and community support are solid, so troubleshooting or expanding setups doesn’t feel overwhelming. Overall, it has improved my workflow by reducing setup time, minimizing manual configuration, and making remote access management much more efficient.

Nous utilisons OpenVPN depuis plus d'une décennie. OpenVPN est facile pour nos utilisateurs, simple à administrer et a été fiable. Plus important encore, au cours des dernières années, la quantité d'efforts investis dans le produit s'est vraiment reflétée du côté de l'administration.

J'utilise OpenVPN Access Server pour me connecter aux serveurs provisionnés dans AWS. Je trouve que la gestion des utilisateurs et les scripts personnalisés sont d'excellentes fonctionnalités. Nous avons développé un script qui utilise l'ID MAC de l'utilisateur pour lui permettre de se connecter uniquement avec l'appareil ayant cet ID MAC. L'installation initiale d'OpenVPN Access Server a été très facile pour moi.
