OpenVPN has several ways to authenticate peers with each other. OpenVPN offers pre-shared keys, certificate-based, and username/password-based authentication.Preshared secret key is the easiest, and certificate-based is the most robust and feature-rich.
OpenConnect is available on Solaris, Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, MacOS, and has graphical user interface clients for Windows, [14] GNOME, [15] and KDE. [16] A graphical client for OpenConnect is also available for Android devices, [17] and it has been integrated into router firmware packages such as OpenWrt.
WireGuard is a communication protocol and free and open-source software that implements encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs). [5] It aims to be lighter and better performing than IPsec and OpenVPN, two common tunneling protocols. [6]
Virtual private network (VPN) is a network architecture for virtually extending a private network (i.e. any computer network which is not the public Internet) across one or multiple other networks which are either untrusted (as they are not controlled by the entity aiming to implement the VPN) or need to be isolated (thus making the lower network invisible or not directly usable).
Since TCP keepalive is optional, various protocols (e.g. SMB [5] and TLS [6]) implement their own keep-alive feature on top of TCP.It is also common for protocols which maintain a session over a connectionless protocol, e.g. OpenVPN over UDP, [7] to implement their own keep-alive.
For countries with low internet censorship, Amnezia supports WireGuard and OpenVPN. In 2022, Amnezia VPN successfully passed the security audit conducted by 7ASecurity . Amnezia published free access to not only the source codes of the client part, but also the source codes of the server part.
The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is an obsolete method for implementing virtual private networks.PPTP has many well known security issues. PPTP uses a TCP control channel and a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network, such as the Internet.The protocol is widely used in applications such as email, instant messaging, and voice over IP, but its use in securing HTTPS remains the most publicly visible.
