Our VPN solution is more comprehensive than other competing products by virtue of offering OpenVPN - faster and more flexible tunneling protocols. Our VPN solutions have traditionally been based on the industry-standard IPSec protocol suite (which is still provided for those that need its interoperability with other products). OpenVPN offers benefits of greater throughput, simpler configuration, and faster tunnel set up times.
