OpenVPN® Community Edition provides a full-featured open source SSL/TLS Virtual Private Network (VPN). The TurnKey Linux VPN software appliance leverages the open source 'openvpn-server', 'openvpn-client' and 'easy-rsa' software (developed by OpenVPN® Inc.) to support "site-to-site" or "gateway" access. "Site-to-site" can link 2 otherwise unconnected LANs; suitable for multi-site enterprise networks or linkage to an Amazon VPC. "Gateway" configuration can secure traffic across public and/or insecure wifi connections and/or provide a secure solution for remote work scenarios.
The benefit experienced by my company from the product's use stems from the fact that the solution allows us to have the convenience of remotely using company PCs.
The most valuable features of the solution are its stability and user-friendly UI.
The product's initial setup phase is not straightforward, making it an area where improvements are required.
I have experience with OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey.
The stability in the connections provided by the product is good.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.
There are around 100 end users of the solution in my company.
There are plans to increase the use of the solution in my company, especially to help people who want to connect remotely with their company's PCs.
I would only contact the technical support team if my account is being deleted.
The product's initial setup phase was a little bit complex because there was a need to work on the configuration part.
For the deployment process, you need access to an executable file, which can be a .ASA file, along with a configuration file to edit. When you open the application, you have to put in the config file in the software and then run it to make it work.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in a few hours. If you have some assistance from the IT service or IT team, the deployment can be done within a few hours.
I take care of the deployment process with the help of the product's documents.
I use the product on my PC in the company for remote access.
I am not sure whether the product has enhanced data security in my company, but I use OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey, whenever I need access to the PCs in my company to work remotely.
Speaking about how the encryption technology in the product meets our company's privacy requirements, I would say that I think it depends on the policy of the organization, about which I don't really know much.
I would tell those who plan to use the product that it is one of the popular software solutions.
The product is very good in terms of reliability and the performance offered to its users.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
