Description:
OpenVPN is a robust, scalable and highly configurable VPN (Virtual Private Network) daemon which can be used to securely link two or more private networks using an encrypted tunnel over the internet. It can operate over UDP or TCP, can use SSL or a pre-shared secret to authenticate peers, and in SSL mode, one server can handle many clients. This development port is updated frequently and is much less well tested than the formal releases, and functionality and APIs may change without warning. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION WITHOUT PRIOR TESTING FOR YOUR USE CASE.
