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.
