A great VPN solution for multiple network and client types!
What do you like best about the product?
We like that OpenVPN is... well... open. It works with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, you name it. We're not vendor locked.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support offering is a little light, but given the upside and cost, that's completely understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of mobile users around the US, getting them connected using an SSL, TCP, UDP adaptive VPN solution is critical given the types or networks our team is accessing from.

In cell phones it is so simple to use that only one chooses the server and that's it. The support on your website is very useful.

You have access to many servers
What do you like best about the product?
When you travel from on continet to anotger for work, using just one server will reduce your internet speed, specially when in some places the local internet speed is less than 1 meg per sec, therefore using a server in us whike you are in Africa is not fissible.

Sometime I receive security error when I am using this VPN, and it usually gets fixed by changing the server
