What i see the OpenVpn-AS have 2 free connections. When I will use it for side-to-side (1 tunnel under one user) and have workers accessing system over this tunnel.

I'm hoping to implement a VPN whereby about 200 concurrent users can log in to briefly access my network. I had a look at OpenVPN and this seemed excellent, but was hoping that there would be a less costly option on a per-concurrent-user basis. I've no need for particularly strong security, and my only other requirement is that I would need to be able to add users in bulk via csv or similar. EDIT I will be running a FlexLM server on the machine, and the users will need to be able to download a licence key from that licence server. I was under the impression that remote users need to be on the same network as the licence server, hence the VPN. Please correct me if I'm wrong though. The pricing on OpenVPN comes from www.openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/license-key.html where it says: License Key: Each license key activates a specific number of OpenVPN Clients connecting to the Access Server.

The free license key is designed to get you up and running and will activate (2) Clients. You can purchase additional clients for $5.00 / per client.

Does anyone have any suggestions? You could setup an OpenVPN 'appliance' using a decent workstation (P4+, 1 to 2 GB RAM) with two NICs running Linux + OpenVPN asynchronously-routed to offload the VPN encryption/decryption overhead to a separate machine.

This is fairly simple to setup using the OpenVPN documentation: you're using the routed method with a VPN-only subnet that's different than your LAN subnet (this allows you to create src/dest rules to restrict access if you like; you'll need to add a static route on your edge router so that packets destined for your VPN clients by the LAN know where to go).
