About

Google Cloud VPN is a managed Google Cloud service for connecting a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network with on-premises networks, other VPC networks, or peer networks in other cloud environments through encrypted IPsec site-to-site tunnels. It offers HA VPN gateways for redundant, dynamic BGP connections and Classic VPN gateways for static-routing configurations. Teams can configure gateways and tunnels in the Google Cloud console, Google Cloud CLI, or Compute Engine API, then monitor tunnel status and metrics. Cloud VPN supports IPv4 and, with HA VPN, IPv6; it can work with Cloud Router for dynamic route exchange and interoperate with compatible third-party VPN gateways that support IPsec and IKE. It is designed for private network connectivity, not client-to-gateway remote access or routing traffic to the public internet. Pricing is usage-based and includes gateway tunnel-hours and data transfer.

About

OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and business VPN solution that gives organizations full control over their own secure network. It's software organizations deploy directly into their own environment — on-premises hardware or their own cloud account on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or others — with tunnel traffic flowing directly between users and the server. With Access Server Link, teams can go from zero to a fully configured deployment in minutes: point-and-click setup across AWS, Azure, and GCP, automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal, and a web-based admin portal for managing users, certificates, and access — no SSH or manual DNS work required. Access is granted per application and per identity using domain names rather than broad network-level access, so users only reach what they're explicitly permitted to, and lateral movement is structurally blocked.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Open Source. lots of customization options. Create your own VPN profile using free networks available on sites such as vpnbook. Also available as a service - pay as you go model. Cross Platform.
  • The software made the process of setting up a Virtual Private Network so much easier. It has a lot of configuration options available including the use of DNS servers, user permissions and more. OpenVPN has support that will help with any issues needed.

Cons

  • Initial setup is difficult - creating profiles, installing certificate (at least on windows).
  • It still requires a fair bit of work to actually set up the Virtual Private Network.
