I don't like the standard VPN server on Windows for some reason, and I'm searching for the best client/server application in order to create a virtual private network.

I don't care if the application has its own technology.

  • On the other hand, if it applies it's the simplest solution.

Try OpenVPN. It works with all OS's.

  • We're using OpenVPN with great success. The OpenVPNGui works well for our Windows clients, and it is quite a bit less "system intrusive" than traditional IPSEC clients (e.g. Cisco)

Another vote for OpenVPN; especially OpenVPN Portable as it allows you to distribute a VPN client that does not require installation for Windows users - just unzip and go.

Other attractive features:

  • Per-User routing/DHCP configurations (for example, push routes to some users and not others)
  • RSA Certificate authentication
  • Toggle client-to-client communications
  • Firewall friendly
