User Testimonials
	Absolute VPN	OpenVPN Access Server
Likelihood to Recommend	Absolute No answers on this topic	OpenVPN We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users.

Cons	Absolute No answers on this topic	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 Read full review
