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.

+ good support in Linux, Windows and Mac, as well as the ability to advertise single routes.
+ OpenVPN offers two types of tunnels, which we use depending on specific needs: tun/tap
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)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to OpenVPN I can safely use the Internet on all devices without worrying about data leakage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to create your own secure vpn, you should consider trying openvpn because it has a free license allowing you to connect to 2 devices at the same time.

When you travel from on continet to anotger for work, using just one server will reduce your internet speed, specially when in some places the local internet speed is less than 1 meg per sec, therefore using a server in us whike you are in Africa is not fissible.

Sometime I receive security error when I am using this VPN, and it usually gets fixed by changing the server
