Stable VPN service

We have at least today 350 users using this software at home. In this pandemic world was the more important tool we use.

What they liked
  • Good performance and ease to use before a few months
Room for improvement
  • Not so easy for install
  • There is a lot of documents about this but still a barrier to enter
Switched From

We need more power and UDP features.

Why they chose it

"It's free without limits."

A free VPN solution that works

OpenVPN eliminates the need for me to buy a dedicated VPN since it allows me to set up and use my personal VPN server on my VPS.

What they liked
  • One thing most paid VPN programs do not offer is complete customization
  • From how your server operates to how the client on your device works, OpenVPN offers quite a lot of features for a free program
Room for improvement
  • For the average user, OpenVPN is not recommended because you need to set up your own server
  • It is not a 'plug-and-play' VPN solution
  • You also need to pay some amount to simultaneously use the VPN service on several devices
  • This is an extra cost considering you still need to pay for server hosting as well

Great, but not user friendly

Verified reviewer

What they liked

OpenVPN is, well, open and a reliable VPN service not as tied to corporate interests and profitability as others

Room for improvement

User interface and setup was difficult and not as consistent as I would have liked

Security in the economic network.

I have used this program for more than three years, although it has presented me incoherent on some occasions, I must say that it has complied with everything established, offers excellent servers to be free, with a stable and excellent speed to navigate, protect your data and stay in anonymity to prevent information theft, an excellent program for anyone.

What they liked

Ease of connection, diversity of servers in different countries, free, ease of use and installation, network security, identity protection, stable speed, guaranteed anonymity

Room for improvement

Weakness in the connections, it does not offer support, the program does not notify if it is disconnected from the server, it can connect it to an unwanted server, the speed may decrease, it does not offer additional security

Adequate VPN Server

Professional use for file access and email servers.

What they liked
  • I've used this to gain access to restricted work servers for email and storage
  • It works about 80% of the time to allow me to access the email and files stored there
  • Once installed, it's pretty easy to connect on a laptop and it's automatic on a phone (most of the time)
Room for improvement
  • It's a little hit-or-miss, as previously stated
  • Every now and then, I need to manually connect my mobile device to the VPN, even though it should be automatic
  • It doesn't always play nicely with hotel networks so when I travel for work, I'm not always able to use the hotel wireless to check emails or access files

Fast and reliable network tunnel

This is a great piece of software that allows for secure browsing with a quick push of a button.

Room for improvement
  • I did not have any issues with this particular piece of software
  • The most difficult part was figuring out how to load the configuration on to my smart devices correctly

Best open source VPN available

I've had no issues with it. Clients connect easily and quickly.

What they liked
  • Have been using this in various environments
  • Most recently on my home OpenWRT router
  • It's so easy to set up and configure
Room for improvement
  • There aren't many things I dislike
  • The community version of the client is a little cut back, but this is what you'd expect

Works but can be glitchy.

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • When it works it works well
  • I don’t really have to worry about it once connected
Room for improvement
  • I may be a bit new to it, but I have had difficulties connecting to my VPN on occasions which has slowed down work considerably
  • I recently started using an older version of the software that has worked better
