OPEN VPN Posted by Adel Mubarak , Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 1:51 AM, in Labels: Security

No matter the size of your company, at some point you’ll have users who want to get into the network from home or out on the road whether it be to check mail, work on the database, put together a tender or proposal or any of a million other reasons.

This is where VPN – virtual private network – products come in. Yet, many VPN clients from the likes of Cisco, Nortel and Juniper and other companies of their ilk do not co-operate with each other, or are limited in the operating systems they run on, or generally put up other obstacles.

Instead, OpenVPN is an easily-configured, easily managed VPN tool which works effectively and is available for Windows, Linux and Mac computers. OpenVPN is quicker to set up than IPSec and PPTP and is both cost-effective and stable.
