A free VPN solution that works

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

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.

Security in the economic network.

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.

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

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.

Pros:

This was provided to me free with my ISP. I was allowed to securely connect to the internet through this VPN software after a simple configuration process. Fast, painless, and was up within minutes. I was able to use this software on my pc's and my smart devices.

Cons:

I did not have any issues with this particular piece of software. The most difficult part was figuring out how to load the configuration on to my smart devices correctly.
