From how your server operates to how the client on your device works, OpenVPN offers quite a lot of features for a free program. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- ### "Great, but not user friendly" — 4.0/5 > **Jeff** | *19 April 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: OpenVPN is, well, open and a reliable VPN service not as tied to corporate interests and profitability as others > > **Cons**: User interface and setup was difficult and not as consistent as I would have liked ----- ### "Adequate VPN Server" — 4.0/5 > **Charlie** | *25 January 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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). > > **Cons**: 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. > > Professional use for file access and email servers. ----- ### "The safe work vpn" — 5.0/5 > **Juan Carlos** | *14 February 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use in order to safe guard my enterprize data. Nice handlying of the IP it dosnt change even that already has pass several months. Easy scalability we had at the beging just a max amount of 20 mbs now we can support 40mbs > > **Cons**: Teach ll my comrads how to setup was a litle bit tricky but ater that initial setup everything flows well > > We use openvpn in order to conect to the main server on Monterrey. Allaso we restrcted and secured the development of our software just in this specific ip so we havent any hacing or leaking information this way. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/302400/openvpn-access-server?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/302400/openvpn-access-server) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
