This global performance reflects the reliability and consistency that teams expect from a self-hosted solution built on the trusted open-source OpenVPN protocol.

“I work remotely for a US company, and I have to access the US servers, which requires my location to be in the US. Many of the other VPNs provide remote access; however, they are very slow. Over the past couple of years, OpenVPN has improved its speed and provides the best speed I have seen. The UI design is very minimalistic and user-friendly. The best part is that it is beginner-friendly as well.” - Ashish A., Developer, G2 Review

“We deployed an OpenVPN on an Ubuntu VM. The installation is straightforward, and no need to mess with the complex firewall rules. We use Microsoft Azure Entra ID, so integrating SAML for single sign-on was a big win. Our team was a mix of Windows laptops and Mac OS machines. The OpenVPN client works seamlessly across all platforms. I was able to assign specific access rules to different users, which helped us maintain regulatory compliance and reduce unnecessary exposure.” - Sharin S., Team Lead Azure and Windows Server, G2 Review
