+In 2006 [I wrote an article about OpenVPN][article-post] for the
+now-defunct [Linux Magazine][]. This week I found a copy of the 2006
+article on the [Wayback Machine][]:
+
+[Casting Your Net with OpenVPN (Wayback Machine)][article]
+
+In 2025 you should prefer [Wireguard][] over [OpenVPN][] because
+[Wireguard][] is [faster, more secure, and easier to use][wg-reasons].
+
+Fun factoid: The [AWS Client VPN][] is just an [AWS][]-branded build of
+the [OpenVPN][] client.
