A free VPN solution that works
OpenVPN eliminates the need for me to buy a dedicated VPN since it allows me to set up and use my personal VPN server on my VPS.
PROSOne thing most paid VPN programs do not offer is complete customization. From how your server operates to how the client on your device works, OpenVPN offers quite a lot of features for a free program.
CONSFor the average user, OpenVPN is not recommended because you need to set up your own server. It is not a 'plug-and-play' VPN solution. You also need to pay some amount to simultaneously use the VPN service on several devices. This is an extra cost considering you still need to pay for server hosting as well.

OpenVPN / Router Client is a Viable Choice for Privacy and Security
I have found OpenVPN when implemented at the router level to be an effective means of protecting one's internet activities from intruders and bad actors. Performance could be better.
PROSI like that I can setup OpenVPN at the router level for my organization and not have to install a VPN client on each device.
CONSOpenVPN degrades performance noticeably (i.e., about 66%) compared to unprotected internet access.
Reason for choosing Access Server
OpenVPN is the only option allowed at the router level by my WiFi hotspot.

An Standard in VPNs World!
I suggest everyone to have it in their devices because sometimes VPN Providers' apps get some issues so you have go through a manual way and it's OpenVPN application itself. Unfortunately the developers don't support the OpenVPN application so much, despite that the OpenVPN protocol is an standard these days!
PROSAlmost every VPN provider has OpenVPN protocol and most of them provide both TCP and UDP. It's fast, reliable and secure. The application is easy to use.
CONSUnfortunately it's been a long time that the OpenVPN application is the same as before, there hasn't been much changes in it. The options isn't much in it. The proxy only supports HTTP/S. There isn't Always-On-VPN option in android version of the application.

Best open source VPN available
I've had no issues with it. Clients connect easily and quickly.
PROSHave been using this in various environments. Most recently on my home OpenWRT router. It's so easy to set up and configure.
CONSThere aren't many things I dislike. The community version of the client is a little cut back, but this is what you'd expect.

Best for connecting AWS
Very happy and would recommend to others. Very light weight software.
PROSI use it to connect to the services hosted in Amazon web services. It’s simple and provides steady connection. The user profiles can be saved and hence easy to make connections every time.
CONSNo much cons related to this. It would have been nice if there are more flexible packages for wrt sales based on connections, data transfer, location based etc.

Easy to use and functional
We use this software as a main protocol for our VPN company. It is very easy to use, allows you to offer the services on multiple platforms and is safe.
CONSIt would be good if OpenVPN offered an easier solution for end-consumers, it's pretty simple to set up the VPN configuration for someone with experience. However, first time users usually need to follow helpdocs.

Best Choice VPN Service
So far so good. I am using it all the time and I have to because I work from home and I need to secure my connection and it is going smoothly. I am happy with it.
PROSIt is secure and especially to access our office servers from home our IT department has set it up and since I am using it I am fond of it. It is really easy and works at an excellent speed. Normally with some of the other VPN Access your internet speed gets compromised but with OpenVPN I have not noticed anything like that so far. I do use it to access the server of a client securely. Configuring OpenVPN is really really easy and it provides excellent security.
CONSI have not seen much of hick ups so far its just sometimes it takes bit of time in connection but that only happens very very rarely. There is not much of a server range though but as long as it is connected to one server who needs that many number of servers.

Review of OpenVPN
Overall OpenVPN is a great tool to ensure users communication are secured and private.
PROSOpenVPN is a free VPN server which provides super security features. They include OpenSSL library together with HMAC packet authentication due to which network safety is maximum. It is easy to use, reliable and provides great community support as most of their software protocols are licensed by GNU GPL. It is open source and source code is available for modification. It supports TCP and UDP protocols on any ports which makes it extremely difficult to block. It has high 1024-bit encryption levels and supports forward secrecy.
CONSOne of the disadvantages of OpenVPN is it is not compatible to few servers as OpenVPN does not support them. Due to prioritizing maximum security, encryption occurs in User's space, it affects the speed of network and increases latency. Mostly low specs devices are affected by network latency. It has numerous options thus, it can be confusing for new users to use. It is blocked by few proxy servers and is difficult to configure.

Excellent VPN Option
I use OpenVPN to access my company's network when I am working remotely. This keeps me productive no matter where I am. It works great and I have literally never had an issue with it.
PROSI have used many other VPN clients before and OpenVPN is my favorite. All clients do a fine job of getting me VPN access when I need it, but OpenVPN keeps me connected while my laptop is off or asleep and it remembers my login credentials to make signing back in very quick.
CONSI really have nothing to complain about. OpenVPN is a very simple and useful VPN client. I have used it for a while with zero issues.
Reasons for switching to Access Server
My company just switched clients.

Very secure VPN
Overall I have a very positive experience with OpenVPN, I have not had any technical issue or noticed any bugs since onboarding with them.
PROSWorking with proprietary data means that we need the best security possible to access our network - OpenVPN makes this extremely easy to do this without worrying about network security when we are not in the office.
CONSSetup can be improved to be more simple but I understand the amount of security it must take to make sure it runs properly - our IT team was able to help us through this.

OpenVPN Access Server - Depends On User
Provides excellent service especially per cost.
PROSEasy enough for most users to understand how to set up. Pretty secure. Able to use in most settings.
CONSUsers without a stronger technical background will find managing the software difficult. Can be even more complicated in enterprise environments. In event of reconfiguration, a user of stronger technical background is needed.

To implement VPNs is easy and user friendly
I would recommend Open VPN, the payment method (pay for the users you use) is great since you don´t have to be thinking in how many licences you require, and also it is a simple tool to get VPNs with great technical requirements.
PROSI preferred Open VPN over other options because is a practical way to manage the users who requiring VPNS to access provate networks. To create, erase or update an user is just to enter in the platform and with one click you can do it.
CONSIn some windows computers it is not easy to install it, even having the required windows version but we have been always able to install it.

Best free VPN software in the market
We use it daily and we haven't switched since around 2 years ago. We are happy with the tool and for what we need it
PROSIt's very easy to setup specially for mac users. You just have to download the file with the configuration and select it, that's it. Very easy for everyone
CONSAfter a couple of hours using the VPN it would randomly disconnect. You have to completely turn off your wifi and the VPN and then turn them on again.
