Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use OpenVPN as a way to connect our two offices together and to connect back to the office when working remotely.
Pros and Cons
  • Secure
  • Easy setup
  • 2 free users
  • automatic updates
Likelihood to Recommend
We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site.
Most Important Features
  • Speed of remote connection
  • Easy install
  • Easy to maintain and update
Return on Investment
  • 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.
Alternatives Considered
We found OpenVPN to be more cost-effective vs Azure. In addition, it was easier to install, deploy, and manage.
