OpenVPN eliminates the need for me to buy a dedicated VPN since it allows me to set up and use my personal VPN server on my VPS.
Pros
One thing most paid VPN programs do not offer is complete customization. From how your server operates to how the client on your device works, OpenVPN offers quite a lot of features for a free program.
Cons
For the average user, OpenVPN is not recommended because you need to set up your own server. It is not a 'plug-and-play' VPN solution. You also need to pay some amount to simultaneously use the VPN service on several devices. This is an extra cost considering you still need to pay for server hosting as well.

I have used this program for more than three years, although it has presented me incoherent on some occasions, I must say that it has complied with everything established, offers excellent servers to be free, with a stable and excellent speed to navigate, protect your data and stay in anonymity to prevent information theft, an excellent program for anyone.
Pros
Ease of connection, diversity of servers in different countries, free, ease of use and installation, network security, identity protection, stable speed, guaranteed anonymity.
Cons
Weakness in the connections, it does not offer support, the program does not notify if it is disconnected from the server, it can connect it to an unwanted server, the speed may decrease, it does not offer additional security.

Adequate VPN Server

Professional use for file access and email servers.
Professional use for file access and email servers.
Pros
I've used this to gain access to restricted work servers for email and storage. It works about 80% of the time to allow me to access the email and files stored there. Once installed, it's pretty easy to connect on a laptop and it's automatic on a phone (most of the time).
Cons
It's a little hit-or-miss, as previously stated. Every now and then, I need to manually connect my mobile device to the VPN, even though it should be automatic. It doesn't always play nicely with hotel networks so when I travel for work, I'm not always able to use the hotel wireless to check emails or access files.

I can have a secure connection to my server, So in public areas, using free WiFi is not source of worries for me anymore.
Pros
After connecting to the remote server, All connections to the Lan will be dropped. It means that It provides a real secure connection.
Cons
There is only the last version which is available on the website and I can not download previous versions from openvpn.net
I don't know this is the issue of software or my knowledge, but I couldn't have two concurrent connections from different devices at the same time. So I had to create two different users for two devices.

Review of OpenVPN
Reviewed on 2021/01/14
Overall OpenVPN is a great tool to ensure users communication are secured and private.
Overall OpenVPN is a great tool to ensure users communication are secured and private.
Pros
OpenVPN is a free VPN server which provides super security features. They include OpenSSL library together with HMAC packet authentication due to which network safety is maximum. It is easy to use, reliable and provides great community support as most of their software protocols are licensed by GNU GPL. It is open source and source code is available for modification. It supports TCP and UDP protocols on any ports which makes it extremely difficult to block. It has high 1024-bit encryption levels and supports forward secrecy.
Cons
One of the disadvantages of OpenVPN is it is not compatible to few servers as OpenVPN does not support them. Due to prioritizing maximum security, encryption occurs in User's space, it affects the speed of network and increases latency. Mostly low specs devices are affected by network latency. It has numerous options thus, it can be confusing for new users to use. It is blocked by few proxy servers and is difficult to configure.

OpenVPN is probably the best VPN platform on the internet which can be freely used by anyone. If you want to run your own VPN then this is the software that you need.
Pros
I've been using OpenVPN for longer than I can remember, it's a rock-solid VPN platform on which you can create your own VPN configuration on. I use it to create a VPN within our company network, and it was extremely easy to set up.
Cons
I've racked my brain, but OpenVPN has been flawless for me. I haven't encountered any bugs or downsides since I've used it.

Cons
There is nothing to complain about. You only need good quality of config file.

I think it's a great standard that should continue to be developed.
Pros
Easy to setup point to point tunnels from other openvpn routers to other openvpn routers, cross platform compatibility with apple, windows, android, and linux devices, tons of support and the gui is very simple for windows users to use as along as they can remember to open it in the right hand corner of the tray and click connect first before trying to open other network resources like remote desktop or windows file sharing.
Cons
some of the windows 10 system had a bug where you had to right click and run as administrator for security issues to get the software's TAP adapter to successfully load so you could connect.

It has enabled me to work from home, so I didn't have to go to the University to use very specific software. It has been a great experience.
Pros
It has enabled me to use software that my University is using, but from home. I couldn't have done that on my own, because I have to be connected through a special type of server. OpenVPN has helped me very much. I just entered the details that the software "asked me" to and was ready to use the software that I needed. It was really simple - so simplicity is what I like the most!
Cons
Cons in OpenVPN? I don't know if there are any. I didn't have any issues with it.

You can control the cost of your VPN. Also, it is highly customizable. On the other hand, it supports several protocols so you can choose based on your content type. Your IP will also be invisible if you use a slower but more secure protocol.
Cons
