3.5.2 OpenVPN

OpenVPN is an open-source, Virtual Private Network (VPN) encryption protocol. As well as
being extremely secure, OpenVPN is highly customizable and can be implemented in a
number of different ways. For that reason, using this VPN method requires significant
networking experience to implement. The range of options includes remote access,
site-to-site VPNs, Wi-Fi security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions. The remote
access solutions support robust capabilities such as load balancing, failover, and more
granular access controls, e.g., articles, examples, security overview, and non-English
languages.
OpenVPN implements OSI Layer 2 or 3 secure network extension using the industry
standard SSL/TLS protocol. It supports flexible client authentication methods based on
certificates, smart cards, and/or two-factor authentication, and allows user or
group-specific access control policies using firewall rules applied to the VPN interface.
Setting up OpenVPN involves configuring server and client settings. Refer to Figure 3-37,
Figure 3-38 (server), and Figure 3-39 (client) configuration fields.
