The Microsoft VPN client connects - most of the time. In this case we are working with a pair of Microsoft Surface units which can not seem to connect the VPN.
OpenVPN was my first thought on a client, but 'building' the configuration file is a bit convoluted.
Is there another software I could look at?
OpenVpn could be complicate if the users does not have admin rights in the computer.
If they are admin, is quite simple to install and manage.
There are a few ways to avoid that, for example:
- Using the OpenVPN service as a "proxy": http://openvpn.se/files/howto/openvpn-howto_run_openvpn_as_nonadmin.html
- Using a scheduled task: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Nonprivileged

After test many options finally I decided to install OpenVPN MI GUI in the clients, easy and works very well.

Try FastestVPN client it's easy to use and reliable with best VPN features.
That's an anonimizing services that uses a VPN for the connection. In no way whatsoever does that help anyone looking for a VPN.

I setup an OpenVPN AS server on CentOS 7. I am using the custom msi from the server and deploy to clients via GPO. Rock solid.

I don't know if this is a SonicWall Global VPN Client-specific issue or not, but I've found that when connecting while using a 5ghz wifi connection, it causes lots of issues, disconnections, non-connections, slowness, etc. Switching to a 2.4ghz wifi resolved it completely, every time.
No idea why, but it worked. It's probably just the SonicWall vpn client software, but it's worth a shot trying to see if it fixes your problem. I'm interested in the results.

OpenVPN interface is so 1990s.
You can get same security level, same performance, but modern interface with SoftEther. and it is does have support for OpenVPN, cause it lacks client for mobile devices, so it uses that for mobile devices.
Using it in production for the last 6 months, and couldn't be any happier. I tried many others.

LMAO! From the screenshots of SoftEther, I am surprised that you picked on OpenVPN for having a dated UI.

What do you mean, that client look good to me and modern, unlink openVPN client which is basically a log window
Look how many options/buttons/customization you can do with SoftEther interface without the need of using text file configs, in addition:
- it gets installed on centos pretty easily
- you can get to remote manage pretty easily using those tools on Windows machine.
-
They both look pretty old from that perspective.

Viscosity is a nice OpenVPN client
