OpenVPN Access Server is a full featured SSL
VPN software solution that integrates OpenVPN

capabilities, simplified OpenVPN Connect UI, and
OpenVPN Client software packages that
accommodate Windows, MAC, and Linux OS
environments. OpenVPN Access Server supports
a wide range of configurations, including secure
and granular remote access to internal network
and/ or private cloud network resources and

So, what do you think? Is it safe? Better than those free VPNs?

As far as I am aware, it's not better or worse than other free VPN's. It also depends where you live and what you are using it for. For example, OpenVPN's headquarters are in California. So, you decide

US soil will sell you out.
