OpenVPN is a full-featured open source SSL VPN solution that accommodates a wide range of configurations, including remote access, site-to-site VPNs, Wi-Fi security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing, failover, and fine-grained access-controls.
Features
- Tunnel any IP subnetwork or virtual ethernet adapter over a single UDP or TCP port
- Configure a scalable, load-balanced VPN server farm using one or more machines which can handle thousands of dynamic connections from incoming VPN clients
- Use all of the encryption, authentication, and certification features of the SSL library to protect your private network traffic as it transits the internet
- Use any cipher, key size, or HMAC digest (for datagram integrity checking) supported by the SSL library
- Choose between static-key based conventional encryption or certificate-based public key encryption
- Use static, pre-shared keys or TLS-based dynamic key exchange
- Use real-time adaptive link compression and traffic-shaping to manage link bandwidth utilization
- Tunnel networks whose public endpoints are dynamic such as DHCP or dial-in clients
- Tunnel networks through connection-oriented stateful firewalls without having to use explicit firewall rules
- Tunnel networks over NAT
- Create secure ethernet bridges using virtual tap devices
- Control OpenVPN using a GUI
