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

  • Secure
  • Easy setup
  • 2 free users
  • automatic updates

Cons

  • 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.

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.
