Hi,
I already stumbled several times over OpenVPN but never had the time to look at it in detail. Now I had but didn't find many infos except "many lucky users" and few negative outputs.
I have two open points: a) It would be good to hear from this community if there are any negative aspects of OpenVPN (vs. IPsec VPNs). b) I still have a problem with the term "SSL/TLS VPN". What OpenVPN seems to do is use SSL for authentication and key exchange/rekeying, but does use "ESP similar" data protection schemes/formats. Does the usage of SSL on a "control plane" make OpenVPN an "SSL VPN"? This sounds to me like calling something a car just because it uses a steering wheel... So far I thought about SSL VPNs as doing everything over SSL (with the known disadvantages...).
