User Testimonials
	OpenVPN Access Server	Tencent Cloud VPN Connection
Likelihood to Recommend	OpenVPN If you looking for a reliable, light weight and secure VPN server, than OpenVPN Access Server is the one. Easy to install and manage, OpenVPN will provide secure remote connections, with a very good integration with almost all LDAP directories, for user management. With my experience, I don't see any scenario that OpenVPN won't be able to handle. Incentivized Luiz Eduardo Garcia System Administrator Read full review	Tencent Cloud No answers on this topic
Pros	OpenVPN Speed of logging in. Lengthy session times. Ease of troubleshooting. Incentivized Matt Bergevin IT Program manager Read full review	Tencent Cloud No answers on this topic
Cons	OpenVPN some times error logs are not clear Configuring 3rd party apps can sometimes be problematic Limited functionality for iPhone users, but I believe that is due to an apple issue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tencent Cloud No answers on this topic
Usability	OpenVPN Whatever console or firewall you are running OpenVPN Access Server, it's configuration is very easy to do. You can create multiple tunnels, with different pourposes and authetication methods. It also has a quick and easy view of the connections opened, with possible actions, such as a very efficient kill switch and reconnect options.

Alternatives Considered	OpenVPN OpenVPN had a better UI and usability for our team. It was more straightforward, had better SAML integration, and allowed our team to be on the VPN and on our network in seconds. We had some issues getting Nord to work for our use cases, and have run into pretty much zero issues with OpenVPN.

Return on Investment	OpenVPN Only 2 free users, it would be nice if they would expand to 5. Easy way to establish a VPN backbone between two locations Great for work at home or BCP events. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tencent Cloud No answers on this topic
