OVPN is open-source software that is used to implement virtual private networks. It makes use of a custom-designed security protocol that uses SSL for key exchange, making the connections reasonably secure.

It has become the backbone of many VPN networks and is known for both its privacy and security.

Due to its popularity, OpenVPN has been ported to most operating systems and has become the current standard for setting up a VPN.

If you are looking for an alternative to OpenVPN, you can check out WireGuard. It is a VPN technology that offers faster connections at the sacrifice of a bit of privacy.
