OpenVPN Support Forum

hi,

I am still confused with the protocol used in openvpn
anyone can help me?

vpn protocol there are many,
such as : SSL, IPSEC, PPTP, L2TP, etc.
protocols which are used in openvpn?

thanks.

OpenVPN is often referred to as an SSL-based VPN (or TLS-based) but it uses its own protocol which is very close to SSL/TLS; OpenVPN is not compatible with other VPN clients out there. For more details, read

hi there,

just to add that other vpn protocols belong to different OSI layers as well..

but they all perform more or less the same function,encapsulation and encryption
some do better than others.


Michael.

Anyone have any concept of tunneling?
if you can that there is an image ip headers and tunneling headers

thanks,
