OpenVPN is a twenty-year-old protocol for delivering remote access to protected networks. Available in many commercial and consumer VPN applications, OpenVPN is a simpler, more performant alternative to . It simply is not designed to handle the realities of today’s distributed, cloud-enabled networking ecosystem.
In this article, we will explain why OpenVPN and other VPN protocols are no longer suited to how the world works today. We will compare tunneling
Rather than defending entire networks, Twingate establishes through role-based solution dramatically reduces an organization’s attack surface and limits hackers’ abilities to move through a network.
OpenVPN Performance vs. Twingate
At the heart of OpenVPN’s decades-old architecture is the assumption that a company’s resources, devices, and users are in the same physical location. Today’s internet-connected architectures make this secure perimeter paradigm obsolete. Resources and users could be anywhere. The OpenVPN protocol’s outdated model imposes severe performance penalties on company networks and the user experience.
- Network congestion - lowers bandwidth demands on private networks and reduces the latency of user connections.
OpenVPN Ease of Use vs. Twingate
Whether using OpenVPN or other protocols, VPN-based remote access technologies are difficult to use and manage. End-users must frequently interact with the VPN client software. This is especially true when companies mitigate VPN’s weaknesses through network segmentation. Users must connect and disconnect their VPN each time they need a resource on a different subnet.
Since VPN is a remote access solution, it does not apply to on-premises workers. A company’s VPN system is also limited to protecting its private networks. Cloud platforms have their own VPN security systems. As a result, administrators must synchronize policies and permissions across these discrete various into the and other elements of a company’s existing security stack.

How Twingate enhances security beyond access control
Twingate’s modern, to any private resource. Without any settings changes, services such as SSH can get the same level of based on the posture of specific devices. As access requests are made, Twingate can evaluate the device’s security settings, operating system status, and other variables. Policies can limit or prohibit access based on the device’s real-time solutions less secure, difficult to manage, and harder to scale. With fewer resources and users sitting in a company facility, the topology of VPN architectures imposes significant penalties on a company’s private network performance and user experience.
