What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN is an open source software and not a VPN provider, with this software you can create encrypted virtual private network tunnels, passes completely firewalls, is very easy to use, the encryption is excellent (TSL/SSL) and protects data transfers and communications.

OpenVPN does not offer a user support service which makes it difficult to solve problems even though it has a large global support community and that helps a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a powerful 256-bit encryption helps me to keep my connections anonymous and secure, and provides webrtc protection.

What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN provides us with a set of mechanisms that allows us to build a secure VPN network - it authorizes, authenticates, encrypts and ensures the integrity of the transmitted data. In addition, it protects the server (hub) against DoS attacks and the virtual network against the injection of foreign data.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Problem with using on some mobile devices
- Limited free license for 2 devices (license for at least 10 births can be purchased)

Thanks to OpenVPN I can safely use the Internet on all devices without worrying about data leakage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
