Summary

OpenVPN is a twenty-year-old protocol for delivering remote access to protected networks, which has been widely adopted by consumer and commercial VPN providers. However, it suffers from weaknesses inherent to all VPN technologies, such as public visibility and network access, making it less secure, difficult to manage, and harder to scale in today's distributed, cloud-enabled networking ecosystem. In contrast, Twingate's modern Zero Trust security solution offers a more secure, performant, easier-to-use, and more responsive approach, eliminating the burden and friction of legacy technologies like OpenVPN by consolidating control of access to all resources within a single system. Twingate enhances security beyond access control with additional capabilities such as universal 2-factor authentication, device restrictions, activity logging, and DNS filtering, making it an attractive alternative for organizations looking to improve their security, performance, and usability.
