### "Virtual Network with Pritunl"

January 13, 2021

5.0

I found pritunl easy user friendly and easy to setup.

Pros

Pritunl is one of the best open-source VPN servers available on the market. The web interface of Pritunl is user friendly and very easy to configure even for the complex network and tunneling. The managing dashboard is also remarkable which allows us to manage multiple virtual networks of our organization. The most likable feature of Pritunl is VPC peering which allows us to create multiple cloud site-to-site links with various platforms like Azure, AWS Oracle our team has been using this feature to link Azure Server and orcale server. Another important feature I liked about PRITUNL is that it has two-step authentication, which is highly secure and easily integration with other platforms with REST API.

Cons

It doesn't have a mobile-based platform for managing networks it has only web-based. It doesn't have features to set static IP to the network. Some time network gets to slow. The customer support has been limited to Online there is no phone call service for customer support.

### "Essential for Secure Remote Work"

December 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

The majority of The Knot Worldwide is remote for the foreseeable future. With Pritunl, we are all able to access our VPN from the comfort of our own homes. The peace of mind this product does helps us have a work-life balance, while ensuring our clients' sensitive data remains protected. The customer service is fantastic as well!

Cons

Employees with Windows have experienced lagging and connection issues with Pritunl, which can be annoying, but this hasn't happened often.

### "Useful."

July 22, 2022

5.0

Very easy to use and useful.

Pros

Since I started to use this VPN it has made my day at work much easier. While working remotely some of the problems we face is that some tools do not function locally (due to my IP address) and Pritunl has made that possible.

Cons

This can be overlooked but there are times when I lose internet connection Pritunl will disconnect and there would be no notification unless you check the application.

### "Pros and Cons of Pritunl"

January 14, 2021

4.0

Overall Pritunl is easy to setup and use and experience is good.

Pros

PRITUNL is one of the strongest VPN servers that my colleagues and I have been using for meetings with offshore teams using ASW cloud services. Importing profiles is smoother and links do not decline like most connections. Another interesting thing I liked about PRITUNL is that it has two-step authentication, which is highly secure. It is simple to use and easy to set up, and linking to a VPN is even easier. Even in my low specs Pritunl runs smoothly and does not consume high memory. When the auto-reconnect is on, it seems like smooth reconnecting is smoother.

Cons

The network is so much sluggish sometimes.. On the Windows console, it gets disconnected occasionally and we won't know until the issued order fails. There is no error message, but it would be safer if an error came up if an error happened.

### "Pritunl review"

January 17, 2021

4.0

My overall experience with Pritunl was very good. For me it is the best enterprise VPN server out there.

Pros

The feature that i like most about Pritunl is auto reconnecting is very smooth and easy on this app whenever we get disconnected. The auto disconnect feature is also a great plus.

Cons

I found Pritunl very difficult to use in Windows because it is highly affected by windows firewall due to which we get connection loss frequently.

### "Excellente Lösung für Zugriff auf Firmen Netzwerk."

June 14, 2022

Insgesamt sehr stabil und perfekt für einen Test, wie immer die Provisorien sind die die am längsten halten :D

Pros

SW deployment klappt nicht direkt mit der Free Version. Client landet in Unternehmen mit der IP von VPN Server.

Reason for choosing Pritunl

Noch keinen Budget bekommen. Corona bedingt haben wir etwas gesucht um die Notlage zu überbrücken. Jetzt sind wir dabei nach einen Upgrade zu suchen.

Pros

It is one of the best open-source VPN servers that allow to create of cloud VPN and provide local network access to remote users. It also has AWS Integration feature and provides reliable remote access and give high scalability. Besides that, it offers up to five layers of authentication. Furthermore, there are highly customizable python plugins available that allow modifying of Pritunl.

### "Great VPN client"

July 13, 2021

5.0

Pros

After setting the program up, it's very easy to connect and reconnect to your private network through Pritunl.

Cons

Each time I open Pritunl from the Start Menu, it opens a new window of the software. If you don't pay attention to this it can lead to many open windows of the same program which in turn slows down your computer significantly.
