Very easy initial setup from VM-based distribution, could be easier to keep up to date
What do you like best about the product?
Small, lightweight, but still has all the basics you need in a VPN solution, including options for MFA support like Okta
What do you dislike about the product?
Keeping both the server & clients up to date can be a challenge. Both the Ubuntu and the ApplicationServer on the Unix VM are a bit tedious to keep up to date. Client updates will sometimes fail and require manual installation & reinstall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure VPN access with RADIUS authentication to local AD & MFA via Okta.
OpenVPN AS is a well-supported, robust VPN solution.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about OpenVPN AS is that it is pretty much literally a turn-key product. They have a virtual appliance available that works out of the box with NO installation, per se, required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of AS, however is that a lot of the detailed configuration and control options are only available via a command-line interface, which is not exactly intuitive. It is, however, quite well documented and there are numerous forums online where you can find how-to-do whatever it is you are needing to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
