Outstanding SSL VPN solution for advanced users looking for a wide range of configurations

The OpenVPN app has been made to function as a complete SSL VPN solution which can handle various and wide range of different configurations like remote access, site-to-site VPN, and Wireless security. Beside these private configurations, the program can also handle a variety of commercial configurations like enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing.

OpenVPN uses OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension which is made by following the industry standard SSL/TLS protocol. The application has support for major configurations and solutions, so it supports flexible client authentication methods which are based on smart cards, certificates or 2 factor authentication. OpenVPN allows group-specific access control policies using firewall rules applied to the VPN virtual interface.

OpenVPN does not function as a web application proxy and it cannot be used through your web browser.

You can use Open VPN to Tunnel IP subnetworks or virtual Ethernet adapters over one UDP or TCP port or to configure a VPN server farm that is scalable and load-balanced using one or more machines which can handle thousands of dynamic connections from incoming VPN clients.

When it comes to security you can implement all of the encryption, authentication, and certification features of the OpenSSL library to safeguard your private network traffic as it merges over the World Wide Web.
OpenVPN can be controlled by using GUI and it allows you to create secure Ethernet bridges with use of virtual tap devices.
