Hello all,
I thought I would clear a few things up for you:
1. We do have a comparison chart between OpenVPN Community Edition and OpenVPN Access Server, you can look at it here:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/access...envpn-community-and-enterprise-editions-.html
2. OpenVPN Access Server was developed with easier management, better scalability, and better performance in mind. We are not trying to mislead anyone with our current site setup and apologize if there is any confusion.
3. The issues many of you are running into with the installation and configuration of Access Server in Proxmox is the OpenVZ counterpart, there are no extra steps to be taken when using KVM. Because of the way OpenVPN Access Server is developed (it heavily relies on iptables), you will need to change some settings and allow access to certain modules to get it to work properly in an OpenVZ environment.
This article explains what changes need to be made to your OpenVZ setup:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/access...-to-run-access-server-on-a-vps-container.html
(These steps were actually written up an tested on a machine using Proxmox, if done correctly it will work)
4. As far as our pricing goes: we try to be very reasonable. When compared to other paid VPN solutions we are very inexpensive. There has been ALOT of development that has gone into making this a stable, enterprise ready product.
5. You are obviously free to choose between the two different softwares, however, there have been a lot of performance enhancements in OpenVPN Access Server, it isn't just OpenVPN with a GUI. Unlike the OSS (Community) version we have Multi-daemon mode which allows OpenVPN-AS to take advantage of multiple cores, Server-locked profiles, DMZ mode and much more.
If the Proxmox developers have any additional questions (or the users) please don't hesitate to send me a pm.
Kind regards,
