What is OpenVPN?

AlliedWare Plus OpenVPN is an SSL/TLS-based application used for creating a secure connection from a remote client to a central site. It establishes an encrypted and authenticated tunnel between the client and server and uses that tunnel for transporting traffic across intervening networks. AlliedWare Plus OpenVPN provides full Data Link Layer access, proven standards-based SSL/TLS authentication and encryption, and implicit firewall/NAT traversal. AlliedWare Plus OpenVPN is built on a solid and industry-tested security foundation and is very easy to use. It offers you the flexibility to work in a variety of modes that are easy to understand and hard to make insecure.
