So you can always have a few servers to pick from. > > **Cons**: I wish they had an auto setup like outline. Sometimes you just don't have the time. > > I love it one of the best cyber security products ever. ----- ### "Stable VPN service" — 5.0/5 > **Emiliano Ariel** | *5 August 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good performance and ease to use before a few months > > **Cons**: Not so easy for install. There is a lot of documents about this but still a barrier to enter. > > We have at least today 350 users using this software at home. In this pandemic world was the more important tool we use. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "A free VPN solution that works" — 4.0/5 > **Wale** | *15 June 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **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. ----- ### "Security in the economic network." — 5.0/5 > **Shelly** | *10 October 2019* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of connection, diversity of servers in different countries, free, ease of use and installation, network security, identity protection, stable speed, guaranteed anonymity. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- 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
