OpenVPN Access Server: 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.		Proton VPN: About Protect your business against damaging data breaches and easily comply with security frameworks like ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA. Our software-only virtual private network easily integrates with your existing infrastructure to provide a flexible and scalable way to protect your organization. With our VPN Professional plan, you can securely access your LAN and SaaS resources by assigning and segmenting permissions to private dedicated VPN servers, allowing employees to access only what they need. With all plans, your network traffic is secured using strong AES-256 or ChaCha20 encryption. You can further strengthen your organization's security with enforced 2FA and seamless login through single sign-on (SSO) with SCIM support for automated user provisioning. Proton VPN's high-speed server network is one of the largest in the world and is part of a suite of open source end-to-end encrypted products from the makers of Proton Mail that are designed to keep your business secure.

OpenVPN Access Server: 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.		Proton VPN: Pros from Real Users Pros Worked well for the first few months. Offered several free IP sites around the world. Promises high level of security. Looks sharp on the desktop. None. I have a paid subscription to PVPN for two years and it was fine. I am also a subscriber to the email. • The interface is one of the best I've come across. It shows you a world map with all the possible locations to connect to. • The free version is the best among all VPNs I've tried. No advertisements, and no daily limit. • Excellent security and privacy. I can safely say that I haven't had to share personal information while using ProtonVPN. • Flexible subscription plans. It provides a seamless web browsing experience without compromising personal data. Browse internet without exposing identity. Reliable and fast servers with low ping. Cross-platform application availability. Free and open source Strict no logs policy High-speed connections (up to 10 Gbps) End to end encryption Available on smartphones and all desktop OS It offers the best free online privacy protection tool. ProtonVPN has multi-platform support, gives easy to secure and browse the internet. Encrypted VPN to secure from public wifi data stealing. Open Source Good connection speed No logs policy No bandwidth limitation even on free plan Available on all devices - Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS Free subscription available It makes very simple to bypass and access blocked content. In their privacy policy it tells that that never sell it save your data which is very rare in VPN service. No data loss or ping issue while playing online games. I got ProtonMail's VPN to better protect myself online, and I'm happy to say that unlike some of the other free VPN solutions out there, ProtonMail actually works! I tried looking up my IP address before and after, and the geolocation feature definitely works. I also like how ProtonMail, on Windows desktop at least, lets you decide if you want all your traffic routed through its servers or just some.
