Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Karambir. I'm CEN. I give OpenVPN a three, and for more reviews like this, you can click the link below. I was using a Windscribe before OpenVPN, which is okay. But I couldn't run it through my router. So OpenVPN I can use through my router. Windscribe, it was too complicated. I couldn't do it. I chose OpenVPN, because that was the only thing that my router's software supports. I'm using a wifi hotspot, and OpenVPN was the only choice, so I really didn't have any options other than that. So open VPN through my router is only at the command line, so it was really complicated to get started. I had to do a lot of legwork and internet searching on my own, and none of the players had any information really to provide on how to set up my router. So I did eventually get it to work, but I had to do all the work. It's really, really learning intensive in that regard. So if you're thinking of using OpenVPN in a similar setting, which is through your router at the command line, I would look to see, what are all the other options? Maybe even a different router and what's performance, because performance is seriously degraded through OpenVPN. The upside is the security of the connection. So it's a trade off, but I would look around to see all the options that are available when purchasing hardware as well.
