Great alternative VPN option and perfect replacement

Easy setup/configuration, great docs (also available in App form), easy-to-use GUI client for Windows users - no need to mess around with command line! Very flexible solution that allows you to connect anywhere there is internet access. It's very fast too which surprised me at first but when I started looking into it more I realized this was one of their main selling points. As others have mentioned, sometimes connection drops out or fails completely due to high load. This happens even though…

Pros
  • Great documentation
  • Fast speeds compared other solutions.
  • Lots options including remote location connections etc
  • Free version works well enough most times :)
Cons
  • Does require some time setting everything elseup.
  • Takes forever until establishing VPN tunnel once connected..sometimes hours..but maybe its normal? Not really much choice here anyway since all alternatives seem slower than openvpn :P"I've used Linux Mint before; however never tried using P
